US Senators Introduce Bill Linking Lebanon Aid to Hezbollah Disarmament
US senators have introduced legislation that would authorize $200 million annually in security assistance to Lebanon’s armed forces, with the amount increasing to $300 million if sufficient progress is made in confronting Hezbollah. The bill also imposes sanctions on foreign entities involved in funding Hezbollah or hindering its disarmament, and ties aid to Lebanon's declaration of Hezbollah's military activities as illegal and implementation of its disarmament by the army.6 sourcesSee all sources
