including through politically motivated violence and intimidation, to 
reassert Syrian control or contribute to Syrian interference in 
Lebanon, or to infringe upon or undermine Lebanese sovereignty.
    Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all 
property and interests in property that are in the United States, that 
hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come 
within the possession or control of United States persons, including 
any overseas branch, of the following persons: persons who are 
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, (1) To have taken, or to pose a significant risk of 
taking, actions, including acts of violence, that have the purpose or 
effect of undermining Lebanon's democratic processes or institutions, 
contributing to the breakdown of the rule of law in Lebanon, supporting 
the reassertion of Syrian control or otherwise contributing to Syrian 
interference in Lebanon, or infringing upon or undermining Lebanese 
sovereignty; (2) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided 
financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services 
in support of, such actions, including acts of violence, or any person 
whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the 
Order; (3) to be a spouse or dependent child of any person whose 
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the Order;
