SJRES 35 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution 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.

This bill (SJRES 35) prohibits a specific U.S. defense sale to Israel's government. It targets an upgrade to a previously approved military package, blocking a $624 million increase in Major Defense Equipment and a $269 million increase in other defense articles/services, as detailed in a March 3, 2025, transmittal. The resolution requires congressional disapproval to prevent the sale from moving forward under the Arms Export Control Act. It directly affects the U.S. government's ability to authorize this defense transaction and Israel as the recipient. The bill does not change existing law but halts this specific sale.
