Madam Chair, by safeguarding the actions of Hezbollah terrorists and their allies, the Lebanese Armed Forces fundamentally empower Iran in their mission to kill American troops and wipe Israel off the map. Now more than ever, following October 7, giving them any taxpayer funds from America is just simply unjustifiable. I encourage my colleagues to stand with our ally, Israel, and recognize the dangers of funding the Lebanese Armed Forces by voting for my amendment. Madam Chair, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.
