US law could force Biden to pull UN funding if Palestinian recognition bypass succeeds, experts say

Anne Bayefsky warns that if the current U.S. Resolution on U.N. Funding passes, all funds must be withheld from the U.N. As per U.S. Law.
Funding from any act cannot be used for the U.N. Or its specialized agencies if they grant the Palestine Liberation Organization equal status to member states.
Bayefsky criticizes Biden officials for not clarifying the repercussions of a U.N. Resolution granting Palestine full-member status, stating it goes against American law and the U.N. Charter.
