US to reprogram military aid to Egypt over rights record, lawmakers say
A spokesperson for the House Foreign Affairs Committee told Al-Monitor that the State Department will reprogram the aid.
The Biden administration will reprogram a portion of Egypt’s annual military assistance held up over human rights concerns, congressional sources said Friday.
"We can confirm the State Department will be reprogramming $130 million of [foreign military financing] tied to certain human rights criteria as outlined last year that have not been fully met by Egypt," a spokesperson for the House Foreign Affairs Committee told Al-Monitor.
