Trump to target UN Human Rights Council, UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA

Summary

Trump plans to withdraw U.S. engagement from the UN Human Rights Council and extend a halt on funding for the UN Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA).

The move coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit, as Israel accuses UNRWA of ties to Hamas.

Critics warn the decision could destabilize aid efforts for millions of Palestinians. Trump has also withdrawn from WHO and the Paris climate agreement.
