**Taxpayer Dollars Fueling Hezbollah: Time for Accountability**
A staggering $3 billion in U.S. taxpayer funds has been funneled to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) under the misguided belief that this would undermine Hezbollah's terror capabilities.
Instead, it has only enabled more aggressive actions by the Iranian-aligned group.
Congressman Greg Steube has rightly introduced the PAGER Act, which aims to halt further funding to the LAF until it ceases coordination with Hezbollah.
The continuous financial support for the LAF has persistently propped up a corrupt organization that does little to disarm or diminish Hezbollah’s growing military might.
Instead of fostering peace and stability, this has perpetuated a failed approach that leaves American taxpayers financing a military branch that effectively serves as an arm of a terrorist organization.
The scenario resembles a recurring nightmare for U.S. foreign policy, marked by the same cycle of funding leading to failure.
For nearly two decades, the LAF has been falsely portrayed as a counterforce to Hezbollah, but Hezbollah's arsenal has burgeoned from 15,000 to a staggering 150,000 rockets during this period.
Rather than dismantling Hezbollah, U.S. funds have bolstered it, with even moderate factions of the LAF being co-opted and loyal to the terrorist group.
Hezbollah’s influence over the LAF raises alarming questions about how much American aid is genuinely supporting our geopolitical interests—or instead, unwittingly fortifying our foes.
As Israel confronts ongoing aggression from Hezbollah, it would be prudent for Washington to reconsider its current funding model, which has done nothing but enable violence against its allies.
This misallocation of resources is not just a waste; it is a direct threat to U.S. national security.
Biden’s administration has further compounded the issue by diverting resources from military aid to Israel toward the LAF.
Politicians in Washington must take a stand and support legislation that prioritizes U.S. interests above all else.
If the LAF truly stands as a counterweight to Hezbollah, why resist the PAGER Act?
Steube's measure provides an essential opportunity to hold the LAF accountable—it's time to end the financial cycle that continues to empower a terrorist proxy.
The message is clear: taxpayers should not be financing a military that fails to deliver on the promises of security and peace.
As the Biden administration continues to repeat the mistakes of the past, it’s crucial that responsible leadership recognize the urgent need for reform in foreign aid distribution.
Let us ensure our resources are directed towards entities that truly intend to bring about stability and counterterrorism efforts, rather than feeding the very forces that threaten our interests both abroad and at home.
