0:59Now PlayingRep. Darrell Issa is calling on congressional appropriators to cut off all future funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) ahead of a federal spending deadline next month, according to a letter exclusively obtained by The Post. NY Post Political Reporter Josh Christenson shares this story.
“In light of UNRWA’s record of troublesome allegations and disturbing revelations since Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, we believe that going forward no further US taxpayer funds can be given to the agency,” Issa (R-Calif.) wrote in a Wednesday letter to Senate and House appropriators working on spending bills that include foreign aid.
“The totality of evidence regarding UNRWA’s conduct demonstrates its systemic and incurable ties to terror,” he added in the letter, which was co-signed by 27 Republican House lawmakers.
The House and Senate will have to pass either continuing resolutions or separate spending bills to fund the federal government before March 1 or March 8, depending on the agency in question.
