Trump is ending U.S. funding to UNWRA. 
The UN agency for relieving Palestinians. Just when they need it most.

UNWRA employees took part in terrorist attacks against Israel and also helped hide hostages. The UN has been complicit in crimes against humanity and has lost any claim to being a neutral humanitarian actor.
That is a lie.

Yup, Twelve UNWRA employees (out of around 12,000 UNWRA relief worker in Gaza) were found to have participated in terrorist attacks against Israel. Not surprised in the least that the new president is using this as an excuse to withdraw US financial commitments to UNWRA (which were due to expire at the end of March 2025, but hai, it's a "victory", right?)

Since the UN has never done anything worth a cent, he could cut more. It will eventually disappear.

of over 12,000 employees, a tiny percentage (as Rob points out below) were complicit.
Your example condemns all UNWRA employees, and that is as deliberately skewed as suggesting 9/11 was an 'inside job' because the terrorists learned how to fly in the USA.
We disagree on your UN view, too, and even though the USA isn't ruled by the ICC—not having been party to the Roman agreement—trump now sees fit to declare penalties on it (members and their families) for having dared investigate netanyahu, and lumping netanyahu's name in with hamas leaders as if he was a war criminal.

by withdrawing aid, he places more pressure on the Palestinian survivors to leave their homeland because they are currently a fly in his ointment.

UNRWA has been supporting Hamas for years--allowing them to build bases in UN installations, teaching Jew-hated in their schools, making no effort to stop Hamas from stealing the aid meant for the Gazan people and selling it on the black market.
Aid can and should flow to Gaza through UNHCR, the UN agency that handles every other refugee situation in the world, but UNRWA has demonstrated that they're not up to the task of helping the Gazans.
What reason have you to believe any of that?
