US Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, blasted the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) for teaching Palestinian children to \u201chate Jews,\u201d calling on his fellow lawmakers to support a bill which would claw back funds from the controversial relief organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, we marked up a bill mandating that the State Department do everything that it can to recoup the millions of dollars, your dollars, that were sent to UNRWA before Oct. 7,\u201d Mast said in a video uploaded to X\/Twitter on Sunday. \u201cThis was a bill that I put forward, and we\u2019ve been working on it for a number of months. Now, everybody knows how terrible UNRWA is, and that\u2019s why my bill is bipartisan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In May, Mast and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)\u00a0unveiled<\/a>\u00a0a bipartisan bill to rescind all remaining federal funding from UNRWA, citing the agency\u2019s ties to \u201cHamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihadists\u201d and condemning the relief organization as an \u201cincubator for Palestinian terrorists.\u201d The bill would direct the Secretary of State to revoke funding that has not yet been utilized by the agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill was ultimately tabled by the\u00a0House Foreign Affairs Committee\u00a0by a vote of 24 to 22 on July 11, which spilt along party lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mast torched Democratic lawmakers for refusing to support legislation which would defund an organization which, Mast argues, promotes antisemitism and terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n
