Block specific arms sale to Israel

If enacted, this bill would prohibit the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel described in Transmittal No. 25-34 (submitted under section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act and published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025). The ban would cover Major Defense Equipment of 35,529 MK 84 or BLU-117 general purpose bomb bodies, or a mix of both, and 4,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads. It would also block spare parts, consumables, accessories, repair-and-return support, transportation, and U.S. government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services tied to that sale. If enacted, the prohibition would take effect upon enactment and would be limited to the specific articles and services listed in that transmittal. Most U.S. households would not see direct tax or benefit changes, but U.S. defense companies and related contractors could lose that business.
