NEW YORK
Acting under the legal requirement to cut US funding for any UNITED NATIONS body to recognize a Palestinian State, the State Department on Monday announced that the United States has stopped funding the UNITED NATIONS educational, scientific and Cultural Organization as it sounds. A spokesman for the Department of Victoria Nuland told reporters that the Obama administration will not make payment of the proposed $ 60 million to the Agency for this month.
