What This Bill Does
This amendment proposes a multi-year funding program for the Lebanese Armed Forces and Internal Security Forces to counter Iranian-backed groups and illicit trafficking. The funding is contingent upon the Lebanese government taking specific actions to disarm Hezbollah and assert state control over military activities.
This amendment would authorize hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funding for Lebanese security institutions over five years, provided they meet strict benchmarks regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah and the suppression of illicit drug trafficking.
