So when we talk about withdrawing UNRWA feeds Hamas, that is not factual because right now, by continuing the funding of UNRWA, we actually are feeding Hamas.

I encourage everyone to support this amendment because it makes sense and it saves lives.

I just want to remind my colleagues that special envoys and special representatives have made a huge difference all over the globe.

I believe this amendment would strengthen accountability and oversight of UNRWA and make crystal clear that we will not tolerate taxpayer dollars going to Hamas.

Time and again, we have warned that today's Palestinian textbooks are producing the terrorists of tomorrow.

I mean, I have seen the textbooks. I have had briefings on the textbooks.

it is time for us to remove ourselves from UNRWA, to take actual actions to defend the people of Israel.

Ending these overnight, ending these immediately would cause a humanitarian catastrophe far greater than what we've already seen.

the bill under consideration today puts politics first and does not do the hard work of addressing the extremely complicated nature of the problem at hand.

We need to do it. This amendment makes clear we want humanitarian aid to flow to those people in Gaza who are suffering.

We need a special envoy to really take this issue and focus on it, bring all the disparate elements together.
