Amb. Mike Waltz on How the U.S. Is Helping Lebanon’s Military Take Down Hezbollah: The U.S. Contributed Over $250M to Their Armed Forces

‘This is a tremendous historic opportunity for Lebanon’

EXCERPT:

WALTZ: “Well, to answer your last question first, the U.S. contributed over $250 million to the Lebanese armed forces. This is a tremendous, historic opportunity for Lebanon, the Lebanese government, led by President Aoun, a former general, the head of the Lebanese armed forces, to take their country back. Finally, with Iran on its back foot and militarily devastated, with Syria in a much better place with the fall of the Assad regime and the effective diplomacy that we’ve had there, and from the pager and beeper operation to now, Hezbollah has never been in a worse place. This is a true moment.”
