A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Summary of SJRES 21 **What the Bill Would Do** This joint resolution would block a specific foreign military sale of defense equipment and services to Israel. Under U.S. law, Congress has the power to disapprove arms sales to foreign countries. If passed, this resolution would prevent the particular weapons or military equipment being proposed in this sale from going forward. The resolution doesn't specify which particular defense articles are included, as that information wasn't provided in the summary. **Who It Affects** This bill would directly affect U.S.-Israel military relations and any U.S.

defense contractors involved in the proposed sale. It could also have broader implications for Middle Eastern geopolitics and U.S. foreign policy in the region. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 119th Congress. For the resolution to block the sale, it would need to pass both chambers of Congress and, depending on the circumstances of the arms sale review process, potentially overcome a presidential veto.
