Washington, D.C., February 5, 2026

The American Lebanese Policy Institute Political Action Committee – ALPI PAC- affirms the position of the United States government, maintained under both Republican and Democratic administrations, that Hezbollah is a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Hezbollah’s long record of violence, regional destabilization, and involvement in conflicts beyond Lebanon’s borders has imposed severe costs on both the Lebanese people and regional stability. The continued presence of an armed organization operating outside the authority of the Lebanese state remains one of the central obstacles to Lebanon’s recovery, sovereignty, and long-term security.

ALPI PAC believes Lebanon cannot achieve political stability or economic recovery while armed non-state actors retain independent military capabilities. The disarmament of militias and the restoration of exclusive state authority over weapons throughout Lebanese territory are not optional; they are necessary steps toward Lebanon’s future stability and independence.

The Lebanese people deserve a state that alone holds the authority to defend national sovereignty, control its borders, and make decisions of war and peace through legitimate institutions. Continued delays in addressing illegal arms only prolong instability and undermine confidence in Lebanon’s future.

At the same time, ALPI PAC supports efforts aimed at strengthening legitimate state institutions responsible for internal security and national stability and encourages continued international engagement that reinforces Lebanon’s sovereignty and institutional resilience.

ALPI PAC remains committed to advancing responsible U.S.–Lebanon relations while supporting policies that promote stability, state accountability, and a future in which Lebanon fully exercises sovereign control over all matters of national defense and security.
