Disapprove $151.8M sale of 12,000 one-thousand-pound bombs to Israel

Plain English.

A joint resolution of disapproval that would have blocked the $151.8 million sale of 12,000 MK-83 one-thousand-pound bombs to Israel. The MK-83 is a general-purpose unguided bomb that produces large blast radii and has been documented in strikes on civilian areas in Gaza.

The stakes.

One-thousand-pound bombs are unguided munitions with documented use in densely populated Gaza neighborhoods. Senators voted on whether to keep selling them while the civilian death toll climbed. The Senate said yes — 36 voted to block, 63 voted to allow.

• MK-83 1,000-pound bombs are documented in strikes on al-Mawasi, Jabalia, and other dense civilian areas in Gaza.
• The Biden administration paused similar bomb shipments in 2024; the sale resumed under the next administration.
• Procedural discharge vote — never reached an up-or-down floor vote on the underlying sale.
• 63 senators voted Nay. Their pro-Israel PAC totals are visible in the roll-call below.
