Trump to order US withdrawal from UN Human Rights Council
3 February 2025 22:00 GMT
US President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order on Tuesday withdrawing the US from the UN Human Rights Council and prohibiting funding for Unrwa, a White House official said on Monday.
An Israeli law, which was adopted in October and went into effect last week, bans Unrwa's operations in Israel.
"It is Israel’s sovereign decision to close Unrwa's offices in Jerusalem on 30 January. The United States supports the implementation of this decision," US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea told the Security Council last Tuesday.
