Congress has ramped up its efforts to unjustly punish ordinary Palestinians and the U.N. system as a whole for the Palestinian bid at the United Nations. The new government funding bill will result in the elimination of vital U.S. development assistance for the West Bank and Gaza if the Palestinians become a full member state in any U.N. body, apart from UNESCO, unless the President waives this requirement on national security grounds.

Urge your representative to oppose cuts to Palestinian humanitarian and development assistance and U.N. agencies, and check out FCNL's outline of congressional threats to Palestinian aid here.
