Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
This joint resolution would order the President to stop using U.S. military personnel to build, maintain, and operate a floating pier off the coast of Gaza within 30 days, unless Congress approves an extension or specifically authorizes the military operation. The resolution, introduced by Senator Ted Cruz and four other Republican senators, argues that this military deployment lacks congressional authorization as required by law. The measure does not affect overall U.S. military cooperation with Israel. The resolution would take effect immediately upon adoption, with the 30-day termination deadline beginning from that point, though Congress could vote to extend or authorize the operation if it chooses to do so.
