It is the sense of Congress that— Israel has a right to defend itself, which includes the need for offensive capabilities to deter and defeat threats, including threats posed by Iran and its terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis; previously negotiated and approved United States arms sales to Israel should proceed, and all pauses should be lifted, to ensure that Israel is properly equipped to defend itself and defeat threats, including threats posed by Iran and its terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis; and limiting or otherwise delaying the sale or delivery of United States-made defense articles to Israel runs counter to the commitments the United States made to Israel as part of the 2016 memorandum of understanding and undermines regional security, including prospective advances in Israel-Saudi normalization.
