Stop Support for UNRWA Act of 2026

This bill would bar the United States from making any voluntary or assessed contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). It would still allow humanitarian aid to reach people or groups who get help from UNRWA, as long as that aid goes through other agencies or groups. For that aid to be allowed, the Secretary of State would have to certify to Congress that those other agencies or groups do not promote or affiliate with those who promote violence, terrorism, or antisemitism, and do not employ people who do. The bill uses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism.
