Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Cruz voted against discharging S.J.Res. 138, which sought to prohibit a proposed arms sale to Israel. The motion failed 36–63. This records concrete legislative effort to preserve military support, but does not establish shipment delivery or fulfillment of the broader military and diplomatic commitment.
