What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2025," seeks to restore funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). It aims to address urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza, specifically to mitigate and stop the spread of famine and disease. The legislation instructs the Secretary of State to resume providing funding to UNRWA as soon as practicable. It also requires the President to rescind a specific Executive order from February 4, 2025, regarding the withdrawal of funding from certain United Nations organizations. Finally, the bill mandates regular reports to Congress regarding UNRWA's implementation of recommendations from an independent review.
