UNRWA Accountability and Transparency Act This bill makes changes to U.S. foreign policy in matters concerning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). For purposes of this policy, the bill defines Palestinian refugee as a person who (1) resided from June 1946 to May 1948 in Mandatory Palestine (a region controlled by Britain until 1948), (2) was personally displaced as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict, and (3) has not accepted citizenship or other permanent adjustment in status in another country. The bill withholds U.S. funding for the UNRWA unless the Department of State makes certifications concerning the UNRWA's staff, partners, and funding. Specifically, the State Department must certify that neither UNRWA staff and partners nor its funding and facilities are affiliated with terrorism or engaged in the dissemination of anti-American, anti-Israel, or anti-Semitic ideologies. Additionally, the State Department must certify that the UNRWA is subject to comprehensive financial audits by an independent auditing firm and is unaffiliated with any financial institutions that the United States considers to be complicit in money laundering or terror financing. The bill also requires the State Department to implement a plan to encourage other countries to align their activities and efforts regarding the UNRWA with U.S. policy objectives, including the phase out of the UNRWA by resettling Palestinian refugees in countries other than Israel and in territories not controlled by Israel. The State Department must report to Congress on this plan.

The UNRWA Accountability and Transparency Act (S.2479 | H.R.4721) would prohibit US funding of UNRWA unless the Secretary of State determines that UNRWA is meeting strict accountability and transparency criteria and not using U.S. funds to aid in the spread of hatred and antisemitism. The Iron Dome Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2022 (HR 5323) This bill provides $1 billion to replenish the Iron Dome defense system, ensuring Israel is ready to protect civilians from short-range rocket threats. United States-Israel PTSD Collaborative Research Act (H.R. 852 | S. 221) to continue building critical US-Israel ties and support joint efforts to better diagnose and treat patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). USAID-Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill, 2022- through the American Schools and Hospital Abroad and Ocean Freight Reimbursement programs to purchase and import American medical equipment and products. Stand With Israel & Reduce The Terrorist Threat The Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act of 2021 (H.R. 261) Terrorist organizations like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have steadily increased their capacity to attack Israeli population centers for more than two decades, hindering the possibilities for peace in the region. A sharp increase in the intensity and volume of attacks beginning in May 2021 has underscored the necessity of closing off any and all avenues for terrorist organizations to acquire the funding, weaponry and training to attack civilians. Help protect the people of Israel and urge your legislators to support new US sanctions against terrorist organizations and their supporters.
