Bill > S4337

This bill, the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, aims to provide for the expeditious delivery of defense articles and services to Israel. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Condemning the Biden administration's decision to pause certain arms transfers to Israel and calling on the administration to allow all previously approved arms transfers to Israel to proceed quickly, given the unprecedented threats Israel faces from Iran and its proxies. 2. Prohibiting the use of funds appropriated for the Department of Defense or the Department of State to withhold, halt, reverse, or cancel the delivery of defense articles or services to Israel. 3. Requiring the prompt delivery of all defense articles and services for Israel expected in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, including those contracted through the Foreign Military Sales system, supported by prior appropriations, and provided pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act. 4. Withholding funds from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Office of the Secretary of State, and the National Security Council until the requirements for prompt delivery of withheld defense articles and services are met. 5. Mandating the obligation of any remaining unobligated balances of funds appropriated for assistance to Israel within 30 days of the bill's enactment. 6. Requiring various reports on actions to withhold, halt, or cancel defense articles and services, as well as a report on urgent and high-priority defense articles and services for Israel and steps taken to expedite their delivery.
