Bill > HJRes86

This resolution prohibits a proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel involving a specific defense equipment and services package. The resolution references Transmittal No. 25-0C, which was submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act and published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025. Specifically, the resolution blocks a sale that includes an increase of $624,000,000 in Major Defense Equipment (MDE) value and $269,000,000 in non-MDE value, which are attributed to recent cost increases. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively prevent the proposed military sale from proceeding, exercising its oversight role in foreign military transactions. The resolution is significant because it demonstrates Congress's ability to review and potentially halt proposed military sales to foreign governments, in this case to Israel, by using its constitutional powers of review and approval.
