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 seeks to prohibit a specific foreign military sale of defense articles and services to the Government of Israel. It directly affects the proposed transaction by invoking the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the sale of 10,000 BLU-111 500-pound general purpose bombs and related logistics support. The bill uses the statutory authority under the Arms Export Control Act to block the sale without requiring new legislation. If passed, it would prevent the transfer of these specific weapons and associated services to Israel.
