U.S. aid to Lebanon’s military would stop unless anti-Hezbollah rules are met

Officially: PAGER Act

U.S. military aid to Lebanon would be cut off unless Lebanon meets strict anti-Hezbollah conditions. The bill also blocks some U.N.-run support tied to Lebanese security forces, adds a terrorist designation, and requires regular reports to Congress.

Where it stands

Sitting in House Committee

No vote scheduled. Constituent contact is what moves bills out of committee.

What this bill actually does

U.S. money for the Lebanese Armed Forces would stop 60 days after this bill becomes law unless the Secretary of State signs off. That certification must say Lebanon has met several anti-Hezbollah and anti-Amal political and security conditions.
Lebanon would have to stop treating Hezbollah, the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, and Amal as legitimate political parties. It also could not allow cabinet ministers aligned with those groups.
U.S. aid would depend on Lebanese security forces carrying out United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559. That means disarming militias, pushing Hezbollah out of its strongholds, and increasing state security there to keep it from returning.
