A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the report of enhancement or upgrade of sensitive foreign military related to a sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Summary of SJRES 35 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would block a proposed military equipment and services sale to Israel. Under U.S. law, Congress has the power to disapprove major foreign military sales within a specific timeframe. If passed, this resolution would prevent the Department of Defense from proceeding with the particular defense articles and services outlined in the sale proposal. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly affects the U.S. government's ability to complete the arms sale to Israel.

It also has implications for U.S.-Israel relations, American defense contractors involved in the sale, and broader Middle East policy. The resolution itself does not name the specific weapons or equipment included in the sale. **Current Status:** As of now, SJRES 35 is in committee (the initial legislative stage) and has not yet been voted on by the full Congress. The bill was introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 119th Congress. It remains at an early procedural stage, meaning significant action would be required for it to advance to a full congressional vote.
