Press Release
Issues: National Security Defense
Today the U.S. Senate approved the "Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act of 2015," a bipartisan effort led by U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) to block the terrorist organization's financing and limit the group's access to logistical support.

"Hizballah has American blood on its hands and remains an ever-present threat to our national defense and our allies, especially Israel," said Shaheen. "The U.S. government must be relentless in disrupting Hizballah's operations. This legislation turns the screws on its network of support and sends a message to Tehran that there will be zero tolerance for financing terrorism."
