A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export of certain defense articles to Israel.
This bill prohibits Congress from approving a specific proposed export of defense articles to Israel. It targets 5,000 M5 Commando 5.56mm fully automatic rifles (valued at $1 million or more) intended for Israel's National Police via a shipment described in a July 2025 executive communication. The resolution blocks this particular transaction by requiring congressional disapproval under the Arms Export Control Act. It directly affects the Israeli National Police as the end user of these firearms.
