ARM Act

S 4408, the ARM Act, requires the U.S. government to immediately approve all pending military export licenses to Israel and transfer defense articles and services as soon as practicable after enactment. It mandates monthly reports from the State and Defense Departments to Congress detailing pending requests and transfer status until December 2025, and prohibits blocking these transfers. The requirement terminates one year after the President certifies Israel is no longer in active hostilities. This directly affects U.S. military aid processing and Israel's access to defense equipment.
