Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Summary of HJRES 69 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would block a planned military sale of defense equipment and services to Israel. If passed, it would prevent the U.S. from proceeding with the proposed sale. The bill uses a congressional disapproval mechanism, meaning Congress would formally reject the sale rather than the executive branch canceling it. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects Israel as the intended recipient of the military equipment. It could also impact U.S. defense contractors who would supply the equipment, and broader U.S.-Israel military relations.

The bill reflects broader Congressional debate about U.S. military aid to Israel. **Current Status and Key Details** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. It was introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). The official summary does not specify which particular defense articles and services would be blocked, so the scope of the sale remains unclear from the available information. Congressional disapproval resolutions like this allow members to formally challenge foreign military sales, though such efforts rarely succeed in blocking sales that have administration support.
