Redirecting UNRWA Funds to Border Wall Construction and Prohibiting Future Aid.

This bill shifts federal spending priorities by redirecting funds previously allocated for humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) toward constructing a permanent physical barrier along the U.S. southwest border. Furthermore, the legislation completely bans any future federal funding for UNRWA. This represents a change in how taxpayer money is spent, focusing resources on domestic border security rather than international aid.
Key points
Federal funds appropriated for UNRWA but not yet disbursed will be redirected to finance the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The bill establishes a permanent prohibition on providing any future federal funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
