The U.S. has allocated $230 million for Lebanon’s security forces, including $190 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and $40 million for Internal Security Forces, as part of efforts to disarm Hezbollah. This funding comes at a crucial time, reflecting U.S. priorities in resolving regional conflicts, particularly concerning Gaza. The LAF is tasked with asserting Lebanese sovereignty and implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701, while the Internal Security Forces will manage internal security to enable the LAF to focus on broader missions. The initiative highlights U.S. support for Lebanon amidst increasing pressure on Hezbollah to relinquish its arms, underscoring the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
