Bill > SJRes42

This joint resolution aims to prohibit the export of specific defense articles to Israel, specifically blocking the transfer of 3,200 DDM4 and 2,000 MK18 fully automatic rifles with 11.5-inch and 10.3-inch barrel lengths, respectively, to Lavi BBG Ltd. for use by the Israel National Police. The proposed export, valued at $1,000,000 or more, was originally submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act (a law governing the international transfer of U.S. defense technologies) 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 the proposed weapons transfer, exercising its oversight role in foreign military sales and demonstrating its constitutional power to review and potentially block international arms transactions.
