In a new financial escalation, the US Department of the Treasury announced a package of sanctions targeting the "Al-Qard Al-Hasan Association," "Beit al-Mal," and a broad network of officials and companies affiliated with Hezbollah.
Observers view this step as an economic war aimed at undermining the livelihood of the party's popular base and expanding the financial blockade imposed on it.
The sanctions target 21 entities and individuals who, according to the US narrative, were involved in financial evasion operations via "shadow accounts" and front companies. While this measure falls within the ongoing US sanctions policy, it revives questions regarding its impact on the Lebanese state's obligations—especially in light of what is being raised about the "framework agreement"** clauses related to controlling the movement of funds, which places the Lebanese government before complex challenges in managing its financial crisis amid this blockade.
