This resolution would prohibit the U.S. from exporting 20,000 fully automatic Colt carbine rifles — 11.5-inch barrel, 5.56mm caliber — to the Israel National Police, a sale valued at $1 million or more. The proposed transfer was formally reported to Congress in March 2025 (Transmittal No. DDTC 23-077) under the Arms Export Control Act, which requires the executive branch to notify Congress before proceeding with major weapons sales and gives Congress a window to block them. If enacted, the rifles — routed through Israeli firm M.R.D. Efram Investments Ltd. for end use by the police — could not be shipped.
Congressional Summary
This joint resolution prohibits a proposed export of certain firearms, parts, and components to Israel.
