A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed license amendment for the export to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Summary of SJRES 23 **What the Bill Does** This joint resolution would block the U.S. government from approving a license amendment that would allow certain defense articles and services to be exported to Israel. If passed, it would prevent a specific weapons or military equipment sale to Israel from moving forward. This type of resolution is a tool Congress uses to disapprove of executive branch decisions on arms sales. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly impact Israel's ability to receive the military equipment in question, as well as U.S. defense contractors who would lose the export opportunity.

More broadly, it reflects Congressional debate over U.S. military aid and arms sales policy in the Middle East. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. As a joint resolution, it would require passage by both the House and Senate before being sent to the President. The specific defense articles and services involved in this amendment are not detailed in the available summary.
