Vote Summary

SJRES 111 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.

118th Congress (2nd) Vote 292 is a Senate Vote on Bill SJRES 111, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.. SJRES 111 was introduced on September 25, 2024 by 4 Sponsors and 6 Cosponsors.

Bill 118 SJRes 111 is a joint resolution that seeks to express congressional disapproval of a proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel. The sale in question involves the transfer of certain defense articles and services to Israel.

The resolution aims to prevent this sale from moving forward by invoking the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to review and potentially block certain executive branch actions, such as arms sales to foreign governments.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the proposed sale could have negative implications for regional stability and could potentially exacerbate tensions in the Middle East. They also raise concerns about the human rights record of the Government of Israel and its use of military force in the region. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that Israel is a key ally of the United States and that the proposed sale is necessary to support Israel's defense capabilities in a volatile region. They also point to the longstanding security partnership between the two countries and the importance of maintaining strong military ties. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 111 is a contentious issue that highlights the complex dynamics of US foreign policy in the Middle East. It remains to be seen how Congress will ultimately vote on this resolution and what impact it may have on US-Israel relations.
