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

# Summary of HJRES 83 **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, this joint resolution would block a proposed military equipment and services sale to Israel. Under U.S. law, Congress has the power to disapprove foreign military sales, and this bill would exercise that authority to prevent the specific Israeli sale from proceeding. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects Israel as the intended recipient of military defense articles and services. It could also impact U.S.

defense contractors involved in the sale and U.S.-Israel military cooperation. The bill reflects broader congressional debate over American military aid and arms sales policy in the Middle East. **Current Status and Key Details** As of now, HJRES 83 remains in committee and has not advanced to a full floor vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and no specific details about which defense articles or services would be blocked are included in the available summary. To understand the exact scope of the proposed sale being disapproved, one would need to review the full bill text or accompanying congressional documents.
