Summary

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

Editorial Explainer

This joint resolution blocks a proposed sale of military equipment and services to Israel. Under the War Powers Resolution framework, Congress can use this procedure to reject arms sales approved by the executive branch.

Why it matters

Arms sale disapprovals are rare and represent one of the few direct congressional tools to restrict military aid to Israel. Success would set a precedent; failure would test whether there is sufficient bipartisan support in either chamber to block such sales.
