U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council and stopping funding for the UN Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA).
During Trump's first term in June 2018, the United States withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council, saying that it has rendered membership to unworthy nations and harbored "disproportionate focus and unending hostility towards Israel".
However, in February 2021, then U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the Biden administration would reengage with the council as an observer.
Since 1950, UNRWA has been assisting Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
