A Senate resolution has been introduced that would require the government to stop a planned sale of defense articles and services to Israel. This is a joint resolution of disapproval, which is a specific tool Congress uses to try to overturn a presidential decision or an agency’s intent to sell weapons abroad.
Why it matters: This is a procedural attempt by some members of Congress to prevent the government from completing a specific arms transfer. Its practical impact depends entirely on whether it can pass both houses and overcome a potential presidential veto.
