Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill prohibits the United States from providing funding to the United Nations and other international organizations that grant the Palestine Liberation Organization any official status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status. Currently, U.S. law restricts funding to organizations that give Palestine "full membership," but this legislation expands that restriction to cover any elevated status short of full membership. The bill affects American contributions to the UN and affiliated organizations, effectively leveraging U.S. funding as a means to prevent Palestinian representation upgrades in international bodies. The legislation includes a clarification that it does not apply to Taiwan. The bill was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, but contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines.
