"While several of those donors have recently announced their intention to resume funding, the U.S. government, which has historically been a top donor to UNRWA, has instead doubled down. The spending bill passed the House on Friday afternoon with a 286-135 vote. Twenty-three House Democrats voted against the bill, with several issuing statements directly linking their “no” votes to the UNRWA provision. The Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill early on Saturday in a 74-24 vote." Please also note that despite the U.S. State Department playing a little shell game with the truth, the reality is that the Biden administration originally suspended UNRWA funding over accusations that ultimately came from Israel (you know, the country currently engaging in a genocide in Gaza) and for which literally no credible evidence has ever been produced - we'll talk about that more in the three replies with citations I'll publish under this post.
