The Trump administration has approved a waiver for $95m in military assistance to Lebanon in a sign that it sees it’s making progress against Hezbollah.
The approval, confirmed by a State Department spokesperson on Wednesday, marks one of the rare instances of foreign military aid moving through the Trump administration.
In January, the State Department instituted a 90-day funding pause on all aid, with exceptions only for Israel and Egypt. Funding to Ukraine was also recently cut amid the very public differences with Kyiv on ending the war there.
The $95m in aid was originally earmarked for Egypt, but the Biden administration diverted the funds to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).
So much for ending our involvement in wars, huh Republicans?
Aren’t they fighting Israel? What the fuck is happening.
Why would an arms dealer limit themselves to just one side?
Yeah that’s what I thought?
54d chess?
