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

# Congressional Bill Summary: SJRES 22 **What It Would Do** This bill would block a proposed military equipment and services sale to Israel. If passed, it would prevent the U.S. from delivering certain defense articles (weapons and military equipment) and related services that were previously approved for sale to the Israeli government. The bill uses a congressional disapproval process, meaning Congress votes to reject a sale rather than the executive branch approving it. **Who It Affects** This would impact the U.S.-Israel military relationship and defense contractors involved in the sale.

It would also affect the Israeli military's access to certain American defense capabilities. The bill doesn't specify which particular weapons or equipment would be blocked. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent-Vermont) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for a full vote by either chamber. Joint resolutions of this type require passage in both the House and Senate, and would typically face a presidential veto if the administration opposes it—meaning it would need two-thirds majorities in both chambers to become law.
