Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This resolution prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale to Israel involving military equipment, specifically blocking the transfer of 35,529 MK 84 or BLU-117 General Purpose (GP) bomb bodies (or a combination of both) and 4,000 I-2000 Penetrator warheads. The proposed sale was originally submitted to Congress under section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act and was published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively prevent the U.S. Department of Defense from proceeding with this particular arms sale to Israel, exercising its constitutional oversight role in foreign military transactions. The resolution appears to be a direct congressional intervention in a specific proposed military equipment transfer, reflecting the legislative branch's ability to review and potentially block foreign military sales.
