Halting US Aid to UNRWA and Gaza Until Hamas Infrastructure is Dismantled.

This bill immediately stops all US contributions to the UN agency (UNRWA) supporting Palestinian refugees. It also freezes economic aid to the West Bank and Gaza until the Secretary of State certifies that Hamas's terrorist infrastructure has been verifiably dismantled. The goal is to ensure that US taxpayer money does not directly or indirectly benefit terrorist organizations.
Key points
Immediate cessation of all US funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and any successor entities.
Economic aid to the West Bank and Gaza is blocked until the US government confirms that Hamas's terrorist infrastructure is verifiably dismantled after October 7, 2023.
Existing laws are strengthened to prevent funds from going, even indirectly, to the Palestinian Authority if it employs Hamas members or affiliates.
