The opposite

  • Does this strengthen ties with allied countries?-2

    By blocking a major defense sale to Israel, the resolution could potentially strain the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel.

  • Does this reduce what is spent on the military?-1

    The resolution stops the sale of 10,000 bombs and related support, which represents a reduction in the volume of military goods being transferred.
