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 bill (SJRES 32) prohibits a specific foreign military sale to Israel of defense articles and services, including D9R and D9T Caterpillar bulldozers, spare parts, technical support, and logistics services. It directly blocks the sale described in Transmittal No. 24-38, which was submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act and published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025. The resolution uses Congress's statutory authority to disapprove the sale, preventing the U.S. government from proceeding with this transaction. The bill does not create new policy but stops a specific proposed transfer of military equipment.
