AI Summary
This bill would cut or block U.S. funding to the United Nations and other international groups if they give the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) any status beyond “observer.” In short, if a group treats the PLO like a member or gives it extra rights, the U.S. would withhold money from that group . It also says this policy does not apply to Taiwan .
It changes earlier U.S. laws to use this stricter “beyond observer status” rule for PLO participation in UN agencies and related organizations .
- Who is affected: UN agencies and other international organizations that receive U.S. funds; the PLO’s status at those groups
- What changes: U.S. funds would be limited if the PLO is given any rights or status beyond observer; Taiwan is not included in this limit
- When: Would take effect after becoming law by updating existing statutes
