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

Key Points

• Sen. Sanders and three co-sponsors introduced a joint resolution to block a proposed U.S. military sale of 10,000 bombs to Israel. The resolution was referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
• The specific sale targeted involves 10,000 BLU-111 500-pound general purpose bombs, plus related logistics and program support. These are standard air-dropped explosive munitions used in military operations.
• The resolution uses Congress's authority under the Arms Export Control Act to disapprove a foreign military sale. The proposed sale was formally submitted to Congress on March 12, 2026.
• If this resolution were to pass both chambers and be signed into law, the sale of these bombs to Israel would be legally prohibited. However, as a joint resolution, it faces the same legislative hurdles as a regular bill — including a potential presidential veto.
