Latest Action · May 9, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The No Official Palestine Entry Act of 2024 would prohibit the United States from providing funding to the United Nations and other international organizations if they grant the Palestine Liberation Organization any official status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status. Currently, U.S. law restricts funding to organizations that grant Palestine full membership, but this bill would expand that restriction to cover any elevated status short of full membership. The legislation would affect American contributions to UN agencies and affiliated organizations that might recognize Palestinian representation in new ways. The bill contains no specified funding amounts or implementation timelines, and it includes a provision clarifying that its restrictions do not apply to Taiwan. The legislation was introduced by a bipartisan group of senators led by Senator Risch in May 2024 and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee.
