Yea

Nay
79
Sponsor: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
01 · What this bill does
Plain English.
A joint resolution of disapproval that would have blocked $20 billion in arms sales to Israel, including 120mm tank rounds and associated armored-vehicle systems. Introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders during the first wave of Senate disapproval-resolution votes on Israel arms transfers.
02 · Why it matters
The stakes.
First major Senate floor vote that put every member's position on offensive arms sales to Israel on the record. The lobby-money pattern was already visible: senators with the largest pro-Israel PAC totals voted Nay almost without exception.
- First Sanders disapproval-resolution package — established the procedural pattern for the 2026 D9 and MK-83 votes.
- 120mm tank rounds are used in the Merkava tank fleet operating in Gaza and the West Bank.
- 79 senators voted Nay — including every senator with $250K+ in career pro-Israel PAC contributions.
- Vote was forced under the Arms Export Control Act, which guarantees a floor vote on disapproval resolutions.
