End U.S. Funding for UNIFIL
This bill would stop U.S. agencies from using money to support the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. The ban would start on October 1, 2027. If the U.N. extends UNIFIL past December 31, 2026, the United States would withhold an amount equal to UNIFIL's yearly budget from U.S. peacekeeping payments. The withholding would continue until the extended mandate ends. This would reduce a category of U.S. foreign spending but would not directly change household taxes or benefits.
