Latest Action · November 20, 2024
Motion to discharge Senate Committee on Foreign Relations rejected by Yea-Nay Vote. 19 - 78. Record Vote Number: 293. (consideration: CR S6665)
This joint resolution would block a proposed military sale to Israel of approximately 50,400 high-explosive mortar cartridges along with associated technical documentation and support services. The sale was originally submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act in September 2024. If passed, the resolution would prevent the U.S. government from completing this specific arms transfer to the Israeli government. The measure was introduced by Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley and was referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. This type of resolution allows Congress to disapprove foreign military sales, though it would need to pass both chambers and potentially override a presidential veto to take effect.
