What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Uncovering UNRWA's Terrorist Crimes Act," directs the Secretary of State to submit a specific report to Congress. The report must identify the total amounts of funding provided by the United States to UNRWA from fiscal years 2020 through 2024, broken down by calendar month. Additionally, the report must include a description of how those funds were spent. Finally, the bill imposes a prohibition on the use of Federal funds to provide funding, either directly or indirectly, to UNRWA.
