Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export of certain defense articles to Israel.
AI Summary
This joint resolution aims to block a proposed export of defense articles to Israel, specifically prohibiting the sale of 20,000 Colt Carbine rifles to an Israeli company called M.R.D. Efram Investments Ltd, which would be used by the Israel National Police. The resolution specifically targets a firearms export valued at $1,000,000 or more, involving 11.5-inch barrel length, 5.56mm caliber fully automatic carbine rifles. The proposed export was originally submitted to Congress under section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act and was published in the Congressional Record on March 24, 2025. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively prevent the U.S. State Department from proceeding with this specific arms sale to Israel, exercising its oversight role in international defense exports.
