"The U.S. administration has begun to attack the Palestinian people and international law," Malki said at a meeting of the Arab League in Cairo convened to discuss the issue.
Washington said last month it halted all funding to a UNRWA and Trump last week ordered that $25 million earmarked for the care of Palestinians in East Jerusalem hospitals be directed elsewhere as part of a review of aid.
UNRWA is seeking to make up a $200 million shortfall caused by the U.S. aid cutoff, and said it will target additional funding from Gulf states and European partners.
Washington`s decision has further heightened tensions between the Palestinian leadership and the Trump administration, which in December recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a move criticised by the international community.
