Congressional Disapproval of Foreign Military Sale to Israel (119th Congress)

Current understanding

A joint resolution introduced in the 119th Congress invokes the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) disapproval procedure to block a proposed foreign military sale of certain defense articles and services to Israel. AECA joint resolutions of disapproval are a standing statutory mechanism allowing Congress to prohibit a notified FMS within a set review window; passage requires majorities in both chambers and would be subject to presidential veto. The resolution is at introduction stage; specific articles, dollar value, and the underlying DSCA notification are not detailed in the available record.
