SJRES-41 : Still Just a Bill

Senate Joint Resolution 41, introduced by Senator Sanders, seeks to block a proposed export of specific defense articles to Israel.

Specifically, the resolution aims to prohibit:

  • The export of 20,000 Colt Carbine rifles (11.5'' barrel, 5.56mm caliber, fully automatic) to M.R.D. Efram Investments Ltd in Israel.
  • These firearms are intended for ultimate use by the Israel National Police.
  • The export, valued at $1,000,000 or more, falls under Category I of the United States Munitions List and is described in Transmittal No. DDTC 23-077.

The resolution is a direct response to the notification submitted to Congress regarding this arms export, as required by the Arms Export Control Act.
