US policy would officially recognize Palestinian history and support refugee aid.
This bill would establish a new U.S. policy to officially recognize and remember the "Nakba," a term for the displacement of Palestinians. It would also support the rights of Palestinian refugees. Additionally, it would aim to end U.S. involvement in actions that destroy Palestinian homes or forcibly remove people. This means the U.S. would resume financial support for UNRWA, which provides social services to millions of Palestinian refugees.
Today, the United States provides Israel with weapons and diplomatic support, and stopped funding UNRWA in January 2024. If this bill passes, the United States would officially recognize the Nakba and resume financial support for UNRWA, which serves about 5.9 million Palestinian refugees. It would also prohibit the use of U.S. weapons and diplomatic support for actions that destroy Palestinian homes or forcibly remove Palestinians.
