"The recent ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon represents a chance to avoid a return to full-scale hostilities," writes EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas on X.
"The best way to reduce the threat from Hezbollah is to strengthen the Lebanese state and its institutions, as well as to re-establish its monopoly on violence," Kallas adds.
This support is the fourth package of its kind from the EU in recent years.
Israel continued its attacks in Lebanon on Thursday, despite a ceasefire agreement earlier this week. Hezbollah, which was not involved in the talks in Washington, has in turn demanded an end to the Israeli invasion if the group is to respect the agreement.
