RESOLUTION

Condemning Lebanese Hezbollah's repeated violations of ceasefire 
agreements and calling for the Lebanese Government to ensure Lebanese 
Hezbollah immediately ceases all attacks and disarms, in accordance 
with the ceasefire.

Whereas Lebanese Hezbollah is a United States-designated Foreign Terrorist 
Organization that has killed hundreds of Americans, including 220 United 
States Marines and 21 other service personnel in a bombing attack on the 
Marine compound in Beirut, Lebanon, on October 23, 1983;
Whereas, on November 27, 2024, Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire, 
consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, that 
required, as a condition of its continuation, the complete cessation of 
Lebanese Hezbollah fire and the full evacuation of Hezbollah operatives 
from the South Litani Sector;
Whereas, notwithstanding that agreement, Lebanese Hezbollah has repeatedly 
violated the ceasefire by launching rockets, missiles, and drones 
against Israeli communities;
Whereas, on January 8, 2026, the Lebanese Armed Forces claimed to have taken 
operational control of southern Lebanon with the goal of disarming 
Lebanese Hezbollah and asserting sovereignty;
Whereas, despite a ceasefire reached on April 16, 2026, Lebanese Hezbollah has 
launched thousands of rocket, missile, and drone attacks toward northern 
Israel, endangering the lives of Israeli and Lebanese civilians and 
threatening the fragile diplomatic progress underway;
Whereas Lebanese Hezbollah fighters continue to operate south of the Litani 
River in defiance of the ceasefire's terms, using Lebanese territory as 
a base for attacks against Israel and undermining Lebanese sovereignty;
Whereas, on June 3, 2026, Israel and Lebanon reached a ceasefire agreement 
calling for Lebanese Hezbollah to cease its attacks and withdraw 
fighters from the South Litani Sector, and in which the United States, 
Israel, and Lebanon reaffirmed that ``the future of the relationship 
between Israel and Lebanon must be decided by the two sovereign 
governments'', and in which Israel and Lebanon reaffirmed that ``they 
have no hostile intent toward one another and committed to continuing 
direct negotiations toward a comprehensive agreement between the two 
countries'';
Whereas the Lebanese people have made clear that they do not wish to live under 
the influence of the Iranian regime, and the United States stands with 
the Lebanese people in their desire for a sovereign, stable, and 
peaceful Lebanon;
Whereas Lebanese Hezbollah's attacks serve the interests of the Islamic Republic 
of Iran, that has committed to the destruction of America's ally Israel;
Whereas the United States has a vital national interest in a stable and 
sovereign Lebanon, a secure Israel, and a region free from Iranian-
backed proxy aggression; and
Whereas the United States, Israel, and Lebanon have condemned the Islamic 
Republic of Iran's ongoing destabilizing activities and agreed that any 
ceasefire resolution must not run through Tehran: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) strongly condemns Lebanese Hezbollah's flagrant and 
repeated violations of ceasefire agreements, including its 
undermining of Lebanese sovereignty and hostile attacks against 
Israel;
(2) calls on the Lebanese Government and the Lebanese Armed 
Forces to ensure that Lebanese Hezbollah immediately cease all 
attacks against Israel and removes its weapons and military 
infrastructure from the South Litani Sector in accordance with 
the ceasefire's terms;
(3) supports the United States-brokered direct negotiations 
between Israel and Lebanon, and urges all parties to proceed 
swiftly and in good faith; and
(4) reaffirms, consistent with the June 3, 2026, Joint 
Statement, that the future of the relationship between Israel 
and Lebanon must be decided by the two sovereign governments 
and rejects any attempt by any state or non-state actor, 
including Iran or Lebanese Hezbollah, to deny the Lebanese 
people their sovereignty and freedom.
