Bill Summary

Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

AI Summary

This resolution seeks to block a proposed foreign military sale (FMS) to Israel that involves specific military equipment. The resolution targets Transmittal No. 25-26, which was submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act and published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025. Specifically, the resolution would prohibit the sale of 201 MK 83 MOD 4/MOD 5 General Purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies, 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies, 1,500 KMU-559C/B Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for the MK 83 bomb body, and 3,500 KMU-559J/B JDAM guidance kits for the MK 83 bomb body. JDAM is a guidance system that converts unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions by adding a GPS navigation system. The resolution represents Congress's constitutional power to review and potentially block foreign military sales, in this case involving military equipment to Israel.
