america shifts $100m of aid from egypt to lebanon  note that this takes place after israel's repeated ceasefire violations in southern lebanon. israel's defense is that the strikes were against hezbollah arms caches that the lebanese military, per the ceasefire, were supposed to be destroying.  > in separate notices sent to congress, the state department said it was moving $95 million in military assistance intended for egypt and $7.5 million for israel toward supporting the lebanese army and its government. the notices were dated jan. 3 and obtained by the associated press on tuesday. > it is intended to help the laf deploy in the south of the country and supplement the role of the u.n. peacekeeping mission patrolling the so-called blue line, which has separated israel and lebanon since the end of a monthlong israel-hezbollah war in 2006. only 4 days after this lebanon got a very anti iran/hezbollah president so i'd say the payoff has worked for the us
