US shifts over $100M in military aid from Israel, Egypt to Lebanon

^{Published on 2025-01-07 18:01:02 - MSN}

The Biden administration in its final days is trying to bolster a ceasefire agreement that it helped mediate between Israel and Hezbollah.

The U.S. has redirected over $100 million in military aid originally intended for Israel and Egypt to Lebanon, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. This decision comes amidst ongoing conflicts, particularly with Hezbollah, a group backed by Iran, which has been engaging in skirmishes with Israel. The aid, which includes $88 million from Egypt and $15 million from Israel, is aimed at bolstering the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to help stabilize the region. This move reflects a strategic shift in U.S. foreign policy, focusing on supporting Lebanon's military to counterbalance the influence of Hezbollah and to address the security vacuum left by the ongoing conflicts. The reallocation was part of a broader $2 billion aid package for Lebanon, highlighting the U.S.'s commitment to supporting allies in the volatile Middle East region.
