Lawmakers warn UNESCO of loss of US funds
Lawmakers on Wednesday warned the UN cultural agency that it stands to lose tens of millions of dollars in US funding if it agrees to admit Palestine as a member before an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is concluded.
Two top members of the House panel that oversees such funding say the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization could lose roughly $80 million in annual US contributions if it follows the recommendation of its board and admits Palestine.m (AP)
