Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Israel, U.S. officials who approve arms exports, Congress, and companies involved in the covered weapons package.

Why this matters: This matters because it could stop a specific set of U.S.-origin weapons and support from going to Israel. It also tests how Congress uses its power to review arms exports.
