Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.

# Summary of HJRES 71 **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, this joint resolution would block a proposed U.S. military sale to Israel involving certain defense equipment and services. Under federal law, Congress can disapprove foreign military sales, and this bill represents an exercise of that power. The specific weapons or defense articles involved are not detailed in the summary provided. **Who It Affects** The bill would affect U.S.-Israel military relations and defense contractors involved in the proposed sale.

It would also impact Congress's ability to approve or reject military aid packages to foreign countries—a responsibility shared between the executive branch and lawmakers. **Current Status** As of now, HJRES 71 is in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full floor vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). Without additional information about which specific defense sale is targeted or the bill's support level, it's unclear how likely it is to progress further.
