An agreement reached by US congressional leaders and the White House on a massive bill funding military, State Department and a range of other government programmes will continue a ban on US funding for UNRWA, the main UN agency for Palestinians, until March 2025, two sources said yesterday.
The US Senate passed legislation last month cutting off funding for the agency, part of a US$95 billion bill providing aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that has stalled in the House of Representativies. The White House and congressional leaders declined comment on details of the agreement until texts of the spending bills are released.
