US shifts $95 million military aid from Egypt to Lebanon for security concerns

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

  • The US is **diverting $95 million** in military aid originally designated for Egypt to Lebanon, driven by **security needs** in the region.
  • This decision follows **concerns over Egypt's human rights** record, particularly regarding political prisoners, raised by President Biden's Democratic colleagues.
  • The funds aim to support the **Lebanese Armed Forces** in upholding a ceasefire agreement with Israel and countering threats from Hezbollah.
  • Previously, the US had pledged to release military aid to Egypt, amounting to **$1.3 billion**, despite pressing human rights issues.
  • Congress has a **15-day period** to object to this reallocation, but there's a general expectation that lawmakers will support the shift to Lebanon.
