US funding for Lebanon Army tied to performance
The additional American funding for the Lebanese Army is contingent upon its success in implementing the disarmament of Hezbollah. Assistance will depend on the Lebanese Army demonstrating its commitment and making progress in economic and security reforms. According to officials, any new U.S. military support is linked to achieving these goals, especially regarding the dismantling of Iran-backed militias supported by Hezbollah. Despite Lebanon's efforts, under American sponsorship, to continue talks with Israel, the failure of Lebanon to fulfill its commitments hampers the continuation of funding. France has also expressed its readiness to hold a new donor conference to support Lebanon if the required measures are not carried out.
