SenateA resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the strategic partnership between the United States and Israel.
Sponsor: Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
The Senate has passed this bill. It now moves to the House.
In brief
This resolution advises that NATO member countries failing to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense be barred from hosting major events like the NATO Summit or Parliamentary Assembly sessions. It further states that citizens from these non-compliant nations should be ineligible for high-level leadership positions, including Secretary General or military roles at the two-star rank and above. Introduced by Senator Thomas Tillis (R-NC), the measure is currently under consideration in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. While it outlines a shift in U.S. policy toward the international alliance, as a resolution, it expresses the sense of the Senate rather than mandating changes to existing law.
