U.S. Senators Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz have introduced legislation to stop American funding to UNRWA, amidst claims of the organization employing Hamas members. The Biden Administration had provided nearly $1 billion to UNRWA since 2021 before halting aid after October 7 attacks. Concurrently, Israeli activists have blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza for the 10th consecutive day, ignoring the ICJ's order to prevent acts of genocide, with nearly 900 Palestinians killed since the ruling. A U.S. court also found Israel's actions in Gaza 'plausibly' amount to genocide. Republicans are now pushing to permanently defund UNRWA, intensifying the humanitarian and political crisis.
