A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.
SJRES 34 is a Senate joint resolution introduced by Senator Sanders on March 10, 2025, that prohibits a specific proposed U.S. military sale to Israel. It blocks the transfer of 201 MK-83 bombs, 4,799 BLU-110 bombs, and related JDAM guidance kits, along with engineering and logistics support services, as detailed in a March 3, 2025 government transmittal. The resolution invokes the Arms Export Control Act to halt this foreign military sale before it can proceed. This disapproval resolution directly affects the U.S. government’s ability to authorize and deliver these defense articles to Israel.
