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 ongoing cooperation between the United States and Israel on precision-guided munitions, which are weapons that can be guided to their target with great accuracy, is beneficial for both nations' security. Specifically, it suggests that Israel making regular, annual purchases of these munitions, coordinated with the U.S. Air Force's own purchases, would lead to more efficient use of defense resources through economies of scale, allow for quicker responses to urgent needs, and help maintain production capabilities for these important weapons. The resolution also urges the Department of Defense to take steps to speed up the delivery of these munitions to Israel.
