Congress Discreetly Moves To Merge US Military Even Closer To Israel’s

Congress quietly moved to further deepen military ties between the United States and Israel by advancing a provision buried in the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The NDAA released late May includes a measure embedded in section 224 called the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” which would strengthen military cooperation between both counties in the form of research, development, and even defense industrial base co-production. The provision also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion,” further intertwining the U.S. military with Israel.

The measure specifies several areas of cooperation between Israel and the United States, should the NDAA be adopted in its current form. Some of these “cooperative efforts” include cyber defense, artificial intelligence, anti-tunneling and subterranean threats, biotechnology, and any other “emerging technologies.”

“Remember last year when they tried to sneak that definition of antisemitism into federal law that would have banned portions of the New Testament?” Auron MacIntyre, host of the Auron MacIntyre Show, said in a post on X. “This is somehow just as absurd. Why does the GOP congress try to do this every summer?”

This push to further integrate the two militaries comes at a time where popular perception of Israel in America hits record lows. (Read more from “Congress Discreetly Moves To Merge US Military Even Closer To Israel’s” HERE)
