The House rejected Rashida Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution, 324-92. Tlaib said it would require the removal of U.S. forces from Lebanon within seven days; opponents argued U.S. troops were not fighting there and raised security concerns.
The House rejected Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution, 324-92, with 117 Democrats and 205 Republicans voting against it. The resolution would have directed President Donald Trump to remove U.S. forces from Lebanon within seven days. Tlaib argued that Congress needed to act urgently, citing civilian casualties in Lebanon and accusing Israel of carrying out an “ethnic cleansing” campaign there.
House Democratic leaders opposed the measure, saying U.S. servicemembers were not involved in combat operations or hostilities in Lebanon. Haley Stevens warned it could put embassy personnel at risk and interfere with efforts against terrorism. Other lawmakers cited the resolution’s omission of Hezbollah and questions about U.S. personnel and training missions.
