Plain-English Summary

The bill would require the State Department to develop and present to Congress a plan for ending operations of the UN agency that provides aid to Palestinian refugees in the Middle East. The strategy would outline how to shut down or transition away from this organization's activities, which currently deliver humanitarian assistance, education, and healthcare services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the region. This would affect the millions of Palestinians who depend on the agency for basic services and would represent a significant shift in U.S. foreign aid policy.
