Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution would, if enacted, prohibit a specific proposed U.S. foreign military sale to Israel that was formally notified to Congress. It targets the sale described in Transmittal No. 24-104: 3,000 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and related support and services. As a joint resolution, it must be passed by both the House and the Senate and be signed by the President (or have any veto overridden) to become law and block the sale. Until it is enacted, the notification to Congress does not by itself stop the transaction.
This is a joint resolution under the congressional review process for foreign military sales notifications and must be approved by both chambers and presented to the President; it is not handled through the Congressional Review Act. The measure is subject to normal Senate procedures and vote thresholds unless the Senate adopts expedited handling.
This joint resolution would prohibit a specific proposed foreign military sale to Israel—Transmittal No. 24–104—consisting of 3,000 AGM‑114 Hellfire air‑to‑ground missiles (multiple variants) and associated support, training, parts, and services.
It invokes the congressional disapproval authority under section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act to block that transmittal.
A narrowly targeted but politically charged restriction on an ally's arms sale faces strong institutional and executive resistance, making enactment unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused substantive policy instrument that unambiguously identifies and prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale and ties the prohibition to the relevant statutory authority.
Humanitarian protection emphasis versus allied security emphasis
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Humanitarian protection emphasis versus allied security emphasis
Likely broadly supportive because it limits lethal assistance tied to ongoing civilian harm concerns.
Views the measure as a lever for accountability and pressure for humanitarian protections and diplomacy.
Divided reaction: recognizes humanitarian aims but worries about security, deterrence, and precedent.
Likely to seek narrow, evidence-based justification before supporting a block.
Probably strongly opposed, viewing the resolution as undermining Israel's defense and U.S. credibility.
Sees it as damaging to national security and alliance reliability.
