The United States is considering redirecting aid from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to other agencies, according to a bill being considered in the Senate. This decision comes as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to reshape its involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The State Department has confirmed that the proposed legislation intends to allocate funding for Palestinian refugees to other humanitarian programs instead of solely relying on UNRWA. This move reflects the growing concerns among some US lawmakers about the organization's efficiency and alleged bias towards Palestinian issues.
