The Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act of 2015
Today, the President signed into law
H.R. 2297, the Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act of 2015. This
strong, bipartisan bill intensifies pressure against the Hizballah terrorist
organization and provides the Administration additional tools with which to
target Hizballah’s financial lifeblood. We continue to work with Congress
in a bipartisan way to ensure that we maximize the tools available to us to
thwart Hizballah’s network at every turn, and we look forward to working together
as we implement these new authorities. The U.S. Government has made significant
progress and will continue to further disrupt Hizballah’s terrorist
capabilities by targeting the group’s financial support infrastructure. We are
committed to continuing to take strong action, such as imposing sanctions, to
counter the activities of Hizballah operatives and supporters, wherever they
are located.
