Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed license amendment for the export to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Bill Summary: HJRES 70 **What It Would Do** This bill would block the U.S. government from approving an amendment to an existing arms export license to Israel. In simpler terms, it would prevent a specific shipment of military equipment and related services from being sent to Israel. If passed, the State Department would be prohibited from issuing the license amendment needed to complete this export. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects Israel as a potential recipient of U.S. defense equipment, as well as U.S. defense contractors who would be prevented from completing the sale.

More broadly, it reflects congressional debate over U.S. military aid policy in the Middle East. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. As a joint resolution expressing disapproval of an executive action, it would require passage by both the House and Senate, and could potentially face a presidential veto. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) introduced the measure. The specific defense articles involved in the proposed license amendment are not detailed in the available summary.
