WASHINGTON — A new bill by Senate Republicans would cut funding to the United Nations — and other international organizations — that offer the Palestinian Liberation Organization special privileges, according to text of the bill exclusively shared with The Post. The No Official Palestine Entry Act of 2025 would tighten a US law that bars subsidizing organizations that grant the representative body of Palestinian people the same standing as member UN states. It would extend it to any international organization that gives the PLO “any status, rights or privileges beyond observer status.
