Why does the US place UNRWA funds for education in escrow?

Over the past 10 months. UNRWA has issued crying appeals to the world- claiming poverty, complaining that the US did not deliver funding that the Americans had promised to deliver – earmarked for UNRWA education.

It would seem highly unusual for the US State Department to issue an official statement that it would renew funds to UNRWA and then welch on the promise.

The reason that the US holds back funds is that UNRWA will not fulfill its side of the US-UNRWA memo of understanding from July 14, 2021, a written diplomatic accord which requires UNRWA to excise incitement from its school system as a condition to received renewed US funds, which were stopped on August 31, 2018.

The UNRWA spokeswoman, Tamara Alrifai. made it clear in an interview with a Swiss media outlet on July 30, 2021 that UNRWA would not make any move to change the UNRWA curriculum.

Therefore, with the bipartisan backing of the US Congress, the US has therefore placed promised aid to UNRWA in escrow. with the exception of a nominal amount of food aid to UNRWA in Lebanon.

The current US Congress became aware of the UNRWA curriculum because of briefings that the Bedein Center for Near East Policy Research provided staffers of Congress, through a series of bipartisan zoom sessions conducted by the center, 2020-2021
