Cuts US funds to UN if Israel is illegally expelled.
Rep. Lawler, Rep. Moskowitz.
Introduced in the House, referred to committee.
This bill proposes to stop all U.S. funding to any United Nations body if Israel is "illegally expelled" from that body, until the expulsion is reversed. It amends existing law concerning U.S. contributions to international organizations. The bill was introduced by Representative Lawler and Representative Moskowitz and sent to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for review.
Introduced Jan 12, 2026
The bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. For the bill to become law, it must pass both the House and the Senate, and then be signed by the President. It has not yet been voted on by the full House.
If this bill becomes law and Israel is deemed "illegally expelled" from a UN body, the U.S. government would immediately stop all financial contributions to that specific UN body. This action could impact the operations of the affected UN organ, potentially reducing its budget for various programs. It might also shift the financial burden or diplomatic dynamics among other member nations of the United Nations.
Supporters Say
Supporters would argue this bill upholds U.S. commitment to Israel and deters politically motivated actions against it at the UN.
Critics Say
Critics might argue that cutting UN funding could undermine U.S. influence, harm UN programs, and isolate the U.S. diplomatically.
The bill text itself does not include detailed arguments for or against its passage beyond its stated purpose of protecting Israel's standing within the United Nations.
