This resolution condemns President Biden's May 2024 decision to pause certain military aid shipments to Israel, stating that the administration took this action without consulting Congress. The resolution emphasizes that Congress had already appropriated $12.5 billion in security assistance to Israel for fiscal year 2024 and notes that the United States provides Israel with $3.8 billion annually under a 2016 agreement running through 2028. The measure calls on the Biden administration to proceed with all previously approved arms transfers and to spend all congressionally appropriated defense funds for Israel as intended. The resolution affirms Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas and other threats, framing the pause as problematic during a period of heightened regional security concerns.
