Ensuring Peace Through Strength in Israel Act
This bill makes mandatory an existing assessment of munitions needed by Israel in certain conflict scenarios and requires the assessment to address additional issues. (Current law authorizes the President to conduct joint assessments with the government of Israel about the quantity and type of precision-guided munitions that Israel would need in the event of sustained armed confrontations with armed groups and terrorist organizations.)
Under the bill, the Department of Defense must make annual assessments from 2024 through 2028 about the quantity and type of munitions Israel needs to defend itself and prevail in the event of sustained armed confrontation with specified adversaries (for example, Iran or Hamas). The assessment must also address (1) whether sufficient quantities and types of such munitions exist in Israeli and U.S. stockpiles, and (2) the pace at which the United States could replenish Israeli stockpiles in the event of such conflicts.
