President Donald Trump is withdrawing America support, again, from the United Nations' Human Rights Council, according to a Politico report.
He also is pausing funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency that was set up specifically to give money to Palestinians, an organization that was revealed to have had employees take part in the Oct. 7, 2024, terror attack by Hamas on Israel.
The publication said it obtained a document outlining the plans.
The moves are like what President Trump did during his first term in office, from 2016-2020.
The HRC long has faced accusations that it gives cover to governments with human rights abuses,
The report explained UNRWA is the "main agency" giving money to the population in Gaza, where Hamas has ruled for years already.
Several staff members were dismissed by the U.N. when it was revealed they may have been involved in the Oct. 7 terror.
The report said a fact sheet from the White House said the Human Rights Council "has not fulfilled its purpose and continues to be used as a protective body for countries committing horrific human rights violations."
Specifically, the council's repeated attacks on Israel were condemned.
"The UNHRC has demonstrated consistent bias against Israel, focusing on it unfairly and disproportionately in council proceedings. In 2018, the year President Trump withdrew from the UNHRC in his first administration, the organization passed more resolutions condemning Israel than Syria, Iran, and North Korea combined," the document explained.
President Trump's order is reported to require Secretary of State Marco Rubio to review and report to the White House "which international organizations, conventions, or treaties that 'promote radical or anti-American sentiment,' with a particular focus on UNESCO, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization."
That division of the U.N. lost American support several years ago over an anti-Israel bias.
