Sanctions those supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon and provides aid to the Lebanese government and its security forces.
This bill would allow the President to place sanctions on foreign individuals and groups who support Hezbollah or hinder Lebanon's government reforms. It would also set aside money for humanitarian aid, rebuild government services, and provide training and equipment for Lebanon's military and police. Much of this aid would depend on the Lebanese government taking specific actions against Hezbollah.
Today, foreign individuals and groups may support Hezbollah or delay Lebanese reforms without facing specific U.S. sanctions under this bill. The Lebanese government and its security forces also face ongoing challenges with funding and capacity. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. President could impose sanctions on those hindering stability, and the Lebanese government and its security forces would receive substantial, but conditional, U.S. aid and training to counter armed groups and improve services.
