Overview
President Trump will sign an executive order on withdrawing the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council and ending funding to UNRWA, paralleling his first term policies. His move follows accusations of bias against Israel by the UNHRC and alleged links of UNRWA to Hamas. This order is timed with a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where discussions will include a ceasefire with Hamas. This decision follows Budgetary suspensions from the Biden administration. The U.S. aims for hostages' release and mitigating Iran's influence during these talks.
