Limiting UN Funds for Palestine's Enhanced Status

This act aims to restrict funding to the United Nations and other organizations that grant the Palestine Liberation Organization any status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status. This means the U.S. may withhold payments to international organizations if they give Palestine a status similar to a member state, potentially impacting the financial stability of these organizations and their programs.
Key points
Restricts funding to the UN and other organizations that grant Palestine status beyond observer.
Changes the definition of Palestine's status that triggers funding cuts from "full membership" to "any status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status."
The act does not apply to Taiwan, meaning its status in international organizations will not affect U.S. funding.
