Senate Republicans have introduced the No Official Palestine Entry Act of 2025 to eliminate funding for organizations that provide the Palestinian Liberation Organization with privileges beyond observer status. Spearheaded by members including Senator James Risch, the bill underscores a commitment to reform the United Nations, which has been criticized for perceived antisemitism. The initiative follows a series of actions aimed at strengthening support for Israel, particularly in light of recent escalations in military action against Hamas. The bill signals a broader legislative trend toward reducing U.S. financial support for perceived anti-Israel practices in international organizations.
The bill aims to cut funding to international organizations that grant the Palestinian Liberation Organization any privileges beyond observer status.
Risch emphasized that the United Nations has become a 'seat of antisemitism' and requires significant reform.
The legislation seeks to reinforce America's support for Israel by denying funds to organizations that display bias against it.
Additional funding cuts would also impact other international bodies associated with the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
