This bill would stop U.S. payments to the United Nations and its organs or agencies if Israel is illegally expelled. It changes a sentence in section 115(b) of the Department of State Authorization Act (22 U.S.C. 287 note) so that no funds made available to the Department of State or any other federal department or agency may be used for any contribution, grant, or other payment, voluntary or assessed, to such organ or agency until the illegal action is reversed.
The bill was introduced in the House on January 12, 2026, by Representatives Michael Lawler, Jared Moskowitz, and Josh Gottheimer. It is referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
If the condition described in the bill occurs (an illegal expulsion of Israel), the United States would withhold contributions and payments to the United Nations and its agencies until that expulsion is reversed. The change applies to funds made available to the Department of State or any other federal department or agency and covers both voluntary and assessed payments. No publicly available information on other direct effects for individuals.
No publicly available information on cost estimates or broader budgetary effects is included in the bill text or metadata. The text would bar certain payments but does not state projected savings or costs.
