Kuwaiti newspaper: Berman lifts hold on military aid to Lebanon
A Kuwaiti newspaper is reporting that House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Howard Berman (D-Cal) has agreed to lift the hold he placed on military aid to Lebanon the day before the Misgav Am incident in August. The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has agreed to lift a ban to supply the Lebanese army with weapons and equipment estimated at $100 million, the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper reported Thursday.I really hope this is wrong because nothing has changed since last month. The Lebanese army and Lebanon in general are as dominated by Hezbullah as ever.
Al-Rai said Howard Berman okayed for the U.S. administration to continue to support the flow of military aid to Lebanon a month after the U.S. Congress temporarily blocked $100 million in assistance, claiming it was unsure of the country's ties with Hizbullah.
