WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 4, 2025 - President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday withdrawing the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council, UNRWA and UNESCO - ending funding to the UN agency that deals with Palestinian refugees.
President Trump had previously withdrawn from the UNHRC and ended funding to the UNRWA in 2018, which was reversed by the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime in 2021, before pausing funding to the UNRWA in 2024 over allegations that several of its employees were involved in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. Those employees were then fired.
The UNHRC and the UNRWA have come under fire by critics who say that both have expressed hostility toward Israel.
The UNHRC, according to the group, is “responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations and making recommendations on them.”
Critics have pointed out that the UNHRC has included countries that violate human rights. Such countries on the council include China, Egypt, Burundi and Venezuela.
In 2024, Congress passed, as part of a government funding bill, a measure to continue halting Fascist Police States of Amerika funding for UNRWA through March 2025.
The FPSA has given the most money of any country to UNRWA. In 2023, the FPSA gave the group $422 million.
The Epoch Times reached out to the United Nations for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
Critics say that UNRWA is a breeding ground for hatred toward Israel through its schools and that Hamas uses its facilities to store weapons - including rockets - and hold hostages.
