Summary

This joint resolution prohibits a proposed foreign military sale of certain defense articles and services to Israel.

Editorial Explainer

This resolution blocks a specific US military sale of defense articles and services to Israel. It uses Congress's authority to disapprove foreign arms sales within a statutory review period.

Why it matters

The resolution directly restricts military aid flowing to Israel by vetoing a particular arms transfer. Congressional disapproval of arms sales to Israel represents a rare legislative brake on the military assistance relationship.
