This joint resolution would block a pending U.S. arms sale to Israel — specifically, 12,000 general-purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies (the BLU-110A/B) along with the related U.S. government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support. Under the Arms Export Control Act, Congress can halt a proposed major foreign military sale by passing a resolution of disapproval within a limited window after the administration formally notifies it of the deal. The transmittal for this sale (No. 26-32) was submitted on March 12, 2026. Senators Sanders, Van Hollen, Merkley, and Welch are the sponsors. If enacted, the administration would not be permitted to finalize the sale.
Congressional Summary
