A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed license amendment for the export of certain defense articles, defense services, and technical data to Israel.
This joint resolution would block a specific proposed U.S. export of military equipment to Israel, including JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) and SDB (Small Diameter Bomb) weapons. It prohibits the issuance of a license amendment for these items, as detailed in a transmittal (DDTC 23-100) submitted to Congress on September 18, 2024. If enacted, it would prevent the U.S. government from authorizing this arms transfer by stopping the license amendment process. The resolution directly affects U.S. defense export procedures and Israel's access to these specific defense articles.
