Bethlehem - Saba:
The New York Post reported on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in a new pro-Israeli entity bias.
A White House source told the newspaper that Trump believes the organization has anti-American and anti-Israel tendencies.
During his first term in 2017, Trump decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO following disagreements over the organization's policy and stance toward Israel.
In 2023, during Joe Biden's term in the White House, the United States announced its return to the organization.
US officials stated that the decision to return to UNESCO was made in light of concerns about China's growing influence over decision-making within the organization following the US withdrawal.
During his first term, Trump led the United States to withdraw from a number of other international institutions, including the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council. He also announced the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.
When Biden took over, he reinstated the United States in UNESCO, the WHO, and the climate agreement.
However, in his second term, Trump has decided to return to his previous approach and announce a new withdrawal.
