The US administration of President Joe Biden in its final days is shifting more than $100 million in military aid from Israel and Egypt to Lebanon, as it tries to bolster a ceasefire agreement it helped to mediate between Israel and Hezbollah. 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 January 3 and obtained by AP on Tuesday.
