Bill Summary

A resolution to express the sense of the Senate on United States-Israel cooperation on precision-guided munitions. This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that (1) regularized purchases of precision-guided munitions by Israel, coordinated with the U.S. Air Force annual purchase of precision-guided munitions, would enhance the security of the United States and Israel; and (2) the Department of Defense should take measures to expedite deliveries of precision-guided munitions to Israel.

AI Summary

This Resolution expresses the Senate's view that the United States' cooperation with Israel on precision-guided munitions, which are weapons that can be guided to their target with great accuracy, is a vital part of U.S. support for Israel. It urges the Department of Defense to speed up the delivery of these munitions to Israel and suggests that Israel making regular, annual purchases of these munitions, coordinated with the U.S. Air Force's own purchases, would benefit both countries by allowing for more efficient use of defense resources, better preparedness for crises, and sustained production of these important weapons.
