A BILL

To prohibit funding for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon 
beginning on October 1, 2027, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ``No U.S. Funding for UNIFIL Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) On August 28, 2025, the United Nations Security Council 
adopted Resolution 2790 (2025), which ``decides to extend for a 
final time the mandate of UNIFIL . . . until 31 December 
2026''.
(2) It is therefore appropriate that United States support 
for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon aligns with the 
timeline established in Resolution 2790.

SEC. 3. TERMINATION OF UNITED STATES FUNDING FOR THE UNITED NATIONS 
INTERIM FORCE IN LEBANON.

(a) Prohibition on Funding.--Beginning on October 1, 2027, no funds 
authorized to be appropriated for the Department of State, the 
Department of Defense, or any other department of agency of the United 
States Government may be made available to support, contribute to, or 
otherwise fund the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (in this 
section referred to as ``UNIFIL'') or any successor or subsidiary 
organization.
(b) Restriction on Funding.--In the event that the United Nations 
extends the mandate for UNIFIL beyond December 31, 2026, the United 
States shall withhold an amount equal to UNIFIL's annual budget from 
the annual contribution of the United States to the budget of the 
United Nations for peacekeeping activities, until the date such mandate 
expires.
