Bipartisan bill proposed to give Israel veto on US arms sales to Middle East
A bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives would enhance protections for Israelâs qualitative military edge to include an effective Israeli veto on US arms sales to the Middle East.
The bill âwould require the President to consult with the Israeli government to ensure [qualitative military edge] concerns are settledâ when it comes to arms sales to Middle Eastern countries, said the news release Friday announcing its introduction the previous day. The release came from the office of the billâs lead sponsor, Illinois Democrat Rep. Brad Schneider.
Existing law already guarantees Israel a qualitative military edge in the Middle East, but Congress â not Israel â is the arbiter of whether an arms sale meets QME standards.
Most of the sponsors are Democrats, including a number of Jewish lawmakers, among them Schneider, Elaine Luria of Virginia, Max Rose of New York, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, and Ted Deutch and Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida...
AIPAC, the prominent Israel lobby, supports the new measure.
