Trump has signed an executive order withdrawing the US from the UN Human Rights Council
The order also prohibits future US funding to UNRWA (UN agency for Palestinian refugees)
US funding to UNRWA was already suspended under Biden in 2024 following Israeli allegations about employee involvement in October 7 attacks
Previous investigations, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, found some "neutrality related issues" but noted Israel hadn't provided evidence for its main allegation
This marks Trump's second withdrawal from both UNRWA funding and the UN Human Rights Council
Trump previously cut UNRWA funding in 2018, which Biden restored in 2021
Similarly, Trump left the UN Human Rights Council in 2018, with Biden rejoining three years later
Trump stated Palestinians have "no alternative but to leave Gaza"
He suggested Jordan and Egypt should take displaced Palestinians
The announcement included continued Ukraine aid and increased support for Israel and Egypt
