Providing for congressional disapproval of the report of enhancement or upgrade of sensitive foreign military related to a sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.
HJRES 86 blocks a specific cost increase for an existing U.S. defense sale to Israel. It prohibits a $624 million upgrade to Major Defense Equipment and $269 million in other defense services, as reported in a March 3, 2025 congressional notice. The bill uses Congress’s authority under the Arms Export Control Act to disapprove this adjustment to a pre-approved sale. This directly affects the Government of Israel’s defense procurement by halting the implementation of the increased costs. The resolution targets a specific transaction (Transmittal No. 25-0C) rather than creating new policy.
