Blocks sale of 12,000 bombs to Israel

This bill would block the proposed foreign military sale in Transmittal No. 26-32. It would stop the sale of 12,000 BLU-110A/B 1,000-pound bomb bodies to the Government of Israel. It would also bar related U.S. government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services described in that transmittal. The transmittal was submitted under section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act and published in the Congressional Record on March 12, 2026. The prohibition would take effect upon enactment. U.S. defense companies could lose that export sale and service work. Most households would not see direct changes to taxes or benefits.
