•      "I voted against the Lebanon war powers resolution (H.Con.Res. 84) last night. As written, it would have removed all American troops from Lebanon – a country where we are not engaged in hostilities – but do provide important security cooperation with the Lebanese government that help professionalize their forces… I'm pleased that Rep. Tlaib has filed a new version of the resolution (H.Con.Res. 108), that fixes this drafting flaw. I will support this corrected resolution. By directing removal from any hostilities in Lebanon and ensuring the continuation of security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces and embassy protection, this revised resolution prevents unauthorized U.S. military involvement in hostilities while preserving our partnerships and diplomatic presence. I will continue to support the Lebanese people who have suffered due to this conflict." Source: Rep. Adam Smith (Democrat, Washington, District 9)

•      "Today, I voted against this war powers resolution, not because I support U.S. involvement in hostilities in Lebanon, but because the resolution is overly broad and would require the removal of United States Armed Forces serving in roles beyond combat operations, including personnel protecting U.S. embassies and supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces. I co-sponsored H.Con.Res. 108, which more narrowly directs the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon while preserving these critical missions. I look forward to voting in favor of that version of the resolution, which is expected to be voted on in a few weeks." Source: Rep. Bobby Scott (Democrat, Virginia, District 3)

•      "The United States is actively participating in Israel’s illegal invasion and bombing of Lebanon and its mass displacement of the Lebanese people. This participation was not authorized by Congress, and it supports strikes that are illegal under U.S. and international law. This bill is urgently needed to stop using our tax dollars to fund Israeli war crimes. There’s been confusion about what support looks like, so I would like to be specific about what United States support looks like: In southern Lebanon, homes are being leveled with U.S.-supplied bulldozers. Israel is engaging in chemical warfare with U.S.-supplied white phosphorus. The U.S. is providing targeting intelligence for Israeli strikes. There are even credible reports that President Trump personally greenlit specific Israeli military operations in Lebanon. These examples demonstrate the depth of U.S. involvement and the urgency for Congress to act. This is exactly the kind of military involvement that Congress intended the War Powers Resolution to cover. Source: Rep. Summer Lee (Democrat, Pennsylvania, District 12)
