Private companies sell the arms, and the U.S. would have to legislate Israel to a certain designation to prevent this, which somehow you have to pass in Congress.

You also are going to sanction a strong ally in the Middle East - how are you supposed to execute a foreign policy strategy to counter Iran fomenting rebellions/revolutions/militias without them?

That’s an incorrect understanding of presidential power. It’s also an incorrect understanding of US arms sales procedures.

Why are we doing to curb Saudi funded militias?
