A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.
This joint resolution (SJRES 111) seeks congressional disapproval of a specific proposed U.S. military sale to Israel. It directly targets a $200 million foreign military sale involving 32,739 tank cartridges (including M1147 and M830A1 types), related munitions, transportation, and technical support services. The resolution would prohibit this sale if passed, as it is currently pending under the Arms Export Control Act. This is a procedural step requiring congressional action to block the sale, not an automatic ban. The resolution was introduced on September 25, 2024, by Senators Sanders, Welch, Merkley, and Schatz.
