What this bill would do
This joint resolution aims to provide congressional disapproval of a specific proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel.

It specifically addresses an increase in Major Defense Equipment value by $624,000,000 and non-MDE value by $269,000,000. These increases are attributed to recent cost increases.
