The resolution directed the president to remove U.S. armed forces from Lebanon within seven days of its adoption. However, Democratic leaders argued that another war powers resolution introduced by Tlaib with updated language was 'the best legislative vehicle' to keep U.S. troops out of Lebanon and they would work with her to build consensus on it.
Tlaib forced the vote after weeks of deadly fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon was announced, but is contingent on Hezbollah ending attacks and leaving part of southern Lebanon. According to Democracy Now!, Israeli attacks across Lebanon have killed at least six people today, despite the announcement of an extension of the so-called ceasefire.
The debate turned personal when Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, accused Tlaib of having ties to terrorist groups, including Hezbollah. The shouting match came during a heated debate over the resolution that would force President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. Republicans seized on the omission of Hezbollah in the resolution, arguing it would aid the terrorist group and that its supporters were acting as the group's 'proxies'.
House Democratic leaders said they stand with the Lebanese people, the government of Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces in their efforts to live peacefully and defeat Hezbollah. They also added that they do not support any effort by the Trump administration to entangle the United States in a war in Lebanon or other parts of the Middle East.
