## Summary

**Restores U.S. funding to UNRWA while tying aid to accountability from an independent Colonna review.** The bill would repeal prior restrictions and link future support to transparency and reform steps. - Palestinian refugees and civilians in Gaza would regain UNRWA humanitarian and development services across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank including East Jerusalem to help prevent famine and disease. - U.S. funding would be conditioned on UNRWA implementing recommendations from the Independent Review Group led by Catherine Colonna and on increased transparency and accountability. - The Secretary of State would be directed to resume funding under State Department authorities, including providing lifesaving aid consistent with existing waivers, notwithstanding other laws. - The Secretary must submit an initial report within 90 days and then quarterly through December 31, 2028 on UNRWA's steps to implement the Colonna recommendations. - The bill urges Israel to assist UNRWA by providing names and evidence for neutrality investigations and asks the President to coordinate with allies and Israel to support implementation.
