SJRES 113 United States Senate · 118th Congress

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 113 is a joint resolution introduced by Senators Sanders, Welch, and Merkley that seeks congressional disapproval of a specific proposed U.S. military sale to Israel. It directly targets Transmittal No. 24-39, which includes 50,400 M933A1 120mm mortar cartridges with M783 fuzes, plus related technical support and logistics services. The resolution would prohibit the U.S. government from proceeding with this sale under the Arms Export Control Act. This bill does not create new policy but aims to block a specific defense transaction already submitted to Congress. The resolution is currently referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
