A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export of certain defense articles to Israel.
This joint resolution (SJRES 40) prohibits a specific proposed arms export to Israel: 2,300 Colt M4 carbines (5.56mm, fully automatic) valued at $1 million or more, intended for Israel's National Police via M.R.D. Efram Investments Ltd. It directly affects this transaction, which was formally submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act. The resolution blocks this exact export as described in government transmittal DDTC 23-085 and the March 24, 2025, Congressional Record notice. It does not alter broader export policies but targets this single proposed sale.
