Stop Support for UNRWA Act of 2026
This bill prohibits the United States from providing any voluntary or assessed funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The restriction applies directly to the U.S. government's financial contributions to the agency, effectively cutting off official U.S. support. However, the law allows for humanitarian aid to individuals who receive help from UNRWA if that aid is delivered through other organizations that do not promote violence, terrorism, or antisemitism. Ultimately, the legislation mandates a complete halt to direct U.S. funding for UNRWA while permitting indirect assistance under specific conditions.
