A joint resolution to direct the termination of the use of United States Armed Forces for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore pier on the coast of the Gaza Strip that has not been authorized by Congress.
This bill (SJRES 89) requires the U.S. President to stop using U.S. military forces for building, maintaining, or operating a temporary floating pier (called a "Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore pier") on the Gaza coast. It mandates termination within 30 days unless Congress specifically authorizes continued use. The resolution targets the pier project because it was not approved by Congress, as required by law. It does not affect other U.S. military cooperation with Israel.
