Notice of July 29, 2026

Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Lebanon

On August 1, 2007, by Executive Order 13441, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
Lebanon pursuant to the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United
States constituted by the actions of certain persons to
undermine Lebanon's legitimate and democratically
elected government or democratic institutions; to
contribute to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of
law in Lebanon, including through politically motivated
violence and intimidation; or to infringe upon or
undermine Lebanese sovereignty. Such actions contribute
to political and economic instability in that country
and the region.

Certain ongoing activities, such as Iran's continuing
arms transfers to Hizballah--which include increasingly
sophisticated weapons systems--and Iran's funding of
and influence over Hizballah, serve to undermine
Lebanese sovereignty, contribute to political and
economic instability in the region, and continue to
constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United
States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13441 of August 1, 2007,
must continue in effect beyond August 1, 2026.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am
continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
respect to Lebanon declared in Executive Order 13441.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

July 29, 2026.
