About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 19, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
This joint resolution would block a proposed U.S. military sale to Israel that includes 10,000 500-pound general purpose bombs (BLU-111 munitions) along with related logistics and support services. The sale was formally submitted to Congress in March 2026 under standard foreign military sales procedures. If passed by both chambers of Congress, this resolution would prohibit the weapons transfer from proceeding. The measure was introduced by Senators Bernie Sanders, Chris Van Hollen, Jeff Merkley, and Peter Welch, reflecting concerns about the sale among some lawmakers. Congress has statutory authority to block foreign military sales through this disapproval process, though such votes are relatively uncommon.
