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

# Summary of HJRES 84 **What the Bill Would Do** This joint resolution would block a proposed military equipment and services sale to Israel. If passed, it would prevent the U.S. from transferring the specific defense articles and services included in the sale. Under current U.S. law, Congress can disapprove foreign military sales within a set timeframe, and this resolution uses that authority to reject a particular sale to Israel. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect Israel, which would not receive the military equipment and services. It could also impact U.S.

defense contractors involved in producing or selling these items. More broadly, it reflects ongoing congressional debate over U.S. military aid and weapons sales to Israel, an issue that divides lawmakers along various political lines. **Current Status** As of now, HJRES 84 is in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. The bill was introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) in the 119th Congress. For the resolution to take effect, it would need to pass both the House and Senate, and would require either presidential approval or enough votes to override a presidential veto.
