The resolution seeks to block the sale of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), a tail kit that converts "dumb" bombs into precision-guided missiles, which are believed to have been used in the recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories. "For decades, the U.S. has sold billions of dollars in weaponry to Israel without ever requiring them to respect basic Palestinian rights," Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement, adding that the U.S. has "directly contributed" to the death and displacement of "millions." President Biden has urged both sides to stand down following the now 10-day long violent conflict.
