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

# Summary of SJRES 25 **What the Bill Does** This joint resolution would block a proposed military equipment and services sale to Israel. If passed, it would prevent the U.S. government from completing a planned foreign military sale that had been approved or proposed. The bill is a "disapproval resolution," which is a specific congressional tool that allows lawmakers to overturn executive branch decisions regarding arms sales to foreign countries. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly affect Israel, which would not receive the military equipment and services. It could also impact U.S.

defense contractors who manufacture or supply military equipment, as well as U.S.-Israel military cooperation. More broadly, it reflects ongoing congressional debate about American military aid and weapons sales policy. **Current Status** As of now, SJRES 25 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full floor vote in either chamber of Congress. The bill was sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Without additional information about which specific military sale is being blocked or when it might receive a committee vote, it remains in an early stage of the legislative process.
