HEZBOLLAH IS PANICKING

 

Ms. Ros-Lehtinen

 

"Hezbollah also asserted that it ‘‘does

not have any funds in any bank in the

world . . . or in Lebanese banks and

the central bank and the directors of

banks must not panic.’’

 

Well, if a terrorist organization must

publicly state that they are not panicking,

then they are definitely panicking.

 

And Hezbollah was panicking,

Mr. Speaker, following the passage of

this landmark legislation. "

 

"Hezbollah has also lashed out most recently

by bombing a Lebanese bank in

an effort to intimidate the board members

into noncompliance. But

Hezbollah’s cowardly stance and its

scare tactics have not worked."

 

Lebanese banks have gone above and

beyond the letter of the new U.S. law

to proactively offload Hezbollah-linked

bank accounts, forcing Hezbollah to

look elsewhere for financial services.

Yet, as time has progressed,

Hezbollah has found temporary, albeit

cumbersome, workarounds.

 

It is time to send Hezbollah into a panic again, and this new legislation that we are considering tonight will do just that.

Moar from the Congressional hearing

 

TIC TOC TIME'S UP

"This measure would also ramp up

oversight on the administration’s

strategies when it comes to diplomatic

engagement to shut off Hezbollah’s

networks and safe havens. This legislation

is meant to signal to anyone who

supports Hezbollah: Your time is up. "
