With the exception of al-Qaeda, Hizballah has taken more American lives than any other terrorist group in history, said U.S. Congressman Kenny Marchant (TX-24). The group also serves as Irans main terrorist proxy in efforts to threaten Israel and undermine the stability of the Middle East. I am pleased the House voted unanimously to cut Hizballah off from the international financial system. This is an important step we can take to stifle the ability of these terrorist to bring further harm to America, Israel, and our allies around the world. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
