    • Limits U.S. contributions to UNRWA during the period for which a certification is in effect.

    Expresses the sense of Congress that:

    • the President and the Secretary should lead a diplomatic effort to encourage other nations to withhold contributions to UNRWA, or to the regular budget of the U.N. for the support of UNRWA, until UNRWA has met specified conditions;
    • citizens of recognized states should be removed from UNRWA's jurisdiction;
    • UNRWA's definition of a "Palestine refugee" should be changed to that used for a refugee by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); and
    • responsibility for the Palestinian refugees should be fully transferred to UNHCR.
