Halting US Aid to Lebanon's Military Until Hezbollah is Disarmed.

This bill immediately stops US financial support for the Lebanese Armed Forces and internal security forces 60 days after it becomes law. Aid will only resume if Lebanon completely removes Hezbollah from its government and disarms the group, ensuring US tax dollars do not indirectly support radical organizations. Crucially, the law also demands that Lebanon drop all legal charges against American citizens who have criticized Hezbollah's influence.
