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. <all>
