UNRWA Congressional hearing

Capitol Police arrest pro-Palestinian demonstrator Ann Wright for interrupting a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which has provided assistance to displaced Palestinians since 1949. The U.S. and other Western nations paused contributions after Israel accused 12 of UNRWA's 30,000 employees of taking part in the October 7 attacks. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
