Bill 119 hjres 85 is a piece of legislation that seeks to express disapproval from the US Congress regarding a proposed foreign military sale to Israel. The sale in question involves certain defense articles and services that are intended to be provided to Israel.

The bill aims to prevent this sale from moving forward by formally stating the Congress's objection to it. The reasoning behind this disapproval is not explicitly stated in the bill itself, but it is likely that concerns about the impact of the sale on regional stability, human rights issues, or other factors are driving this decision.

However, it does serve as a formal expression of Congress's stance on the matter.
