Block $893 million Israel arms sale

If enacted, this bill would prohibit the specific foreign military sale to the Government of Israel described in Transmittal No. 25-0C. The transmittal was published in the Congressional Record on March 3, 2025. The report shows $624 million in major defense equipment and $269 million in other items, a total of $893 million. If passed, this could reduce revenue for U.S. defense contractors and suppliers tied to that transaction and prevent Israel from receiving those items. The prohibition would take effect upon enactment.
