Mandate to Expedite and Prohibit Halting US Defense Aid to Israel.

This law forces the immediate resumption and acceleration of US military equipment and defense services deliveries to Israel. It prohibits the Executive Branch from using funds to halt this aid and freezes specific operational budgets of the Defense and State Departments until previously paused deliveries are completed. This legislation asserts Congressional authority over the pace and scope of military support to Israel, overriding recent Executive actions.
Key points
Immediate Delivery Requirement: Any defense articles for Israel that were previously withheld must be delivered within 15 days of the law's enactment.
Funding Freeze: Operational funds for the offices of the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State will be frozen until they certify that all previously paused deliveries have been completed.
Prohibition on Future Halts: The law explicitly bans the use of DoD or DoS funds to block, reverse, or cancel future deliveries of defense equipment to Israel.
