To prohibit contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, and for other purposes.
Key claim: HR9893 would prohibit U.S. contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Abstract
(HR9893 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Why this matters
UNRWA funding prohibitions illustrate how Congress uses appropriations restrictions—rather than sanctions or export controls—to pressure entities associated with adversarial or contested actors in the Israel/Palestine theater. Tracking this alongside Hamas-affiliate designations helps map the full toolkit (designations, export controls, funding cutoffs) applied to the same conflict zone, even though direct effects on importers/exporters and consumer prices are limited.
