Stop Support for UNRWA Act of 2026

This bill would bar the United States from making any voluntary or required payments to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), to any successor or related entity, or to the regular UN budget for UNRWA's support. It would bar federal funds from paying expenses of U.S. delegations to UN agencies, bodies, or commissions that are chaired by a country the Secretary of State has found to repeatedly support international terrorism. It would also bar the Secretary of State from using federal funds to contribute to UN organizations or programs chaired by such a country. Finally, it would remove the legal privileges and immunities that UNRWA officials, employees, and representatives would otherwise have under U.S. law.
