Bill > SJRes70

This joint resolution seeks to prohibit the export of specific defense articles to Israel, specifically blocking the transfer of 5,000 M5 Commando 5.56mm fully automatic rifles to M.R.D. Efram Investments Ltd for use by the Israel National Police. The proposed export, valued at $1,000,000 or more, was originally submitted to Congress under Transmittal No. DDTC 23-066 in accordance with the Arms Export Control Act, which requires congressional notification of significant defense export transactions. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively prevent the sale of these firearms, which are classified under Category I of the United States Munitions List, reflecting congressional oversight and potential concerns about the proposed arms transfer. The resolution was published in the Congressional Record on July 15, 2025, and represents a formal mechanism for Congress to exercise its constitutional role in regulating international arms sales.
