SJRES 20 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

This joint resolution (SJRES 20) prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale to Israel involving 10,000 additional 155mm defense ancillaries (fuzes, primers, and charges), as detailed in Transmittal No. 24-16. It directly affects the U.S. government’s ability to proceed with this sale under the Arms Export Control Act. The resolution invokes Congress’s disapproval authority to block the transaction, requiring the sale to be halted if the resolution becomes law. This is a procedural disapproval measure targeting a specific military transfer, not a new policy.
