A resolution demanding that Hezbollah meet its cease-fire commitments was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The nonbinding resolution introduced last week by U.S. Reps. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) and Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich.) demands that the Lebanese terrorist group comply with the terms of the cease-fire affirmed last summer by the United Nations Security Council, including disarming and releasing two captive Israeli soldiers. It also condemns Syria and Iran for continuing to arm and back Hezbollah.
