To provide for a limitation on the transfer of defense articles and defense services to Israel.

# HR 3565 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3565 would restrict the U.S. President from selling or transferring certain military weapons and equipment to Israel, specifically bunker-busting bombs, precision-guided missile components (JDAMs), and 155mm artillery ammunition. However, the President could still provide these items if Congress passes a specific law authorizing it and Israel agrees in writing to use them only for approved purposes and in compliance with international human rights laws. **Who It Affects** This bill would directly impact U.S.-Israel military aid and cooperation. It would also affect defense contractors who supply these weapons systems, and potentially Israeli military operations that rely on these specific weapons.

The broader implications could influence U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Delia Ramirez (D-Illinois) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. It remains in the early legislative stage and would need committee approval and floor votes to advance further.
