President Donald Trump signed an executive order ceasing U.S. engagement with the U.N. Human Rights Council and banning funding for the U.N. relief agency for Gaza. The U.S. has accused the human rights council of bias against Israel. The Biden administration had paused funding to the UNRWA after reports of staff involvement in Hamas attacks. Israel's ambassador to the U.N. praised Trump's move, while Arab diplomats from key U.S. partners are working to support UNRWA.
