“…Synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.”
Earlier this week, a controversial amendment to the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) — a record-setting military spending package to the tune of $1.5 trillion — that would formally and effectively integrate the United States and Israeli armed forces together, failed to be removed after it was brought to the floor in a vote to scratch the proposed section.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced an amendment to strip “Section 224-United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the NDAA, but was shot down by both parties from the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), save for Khanna and fellow Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA).
Khanna remarked:
“The American people are tired of the arrogance and insolence of Prime Minister Netanyahu telling America what we should do. The entire country of Israel has a GDP that is less than a single town in my district, yet somehow Netanyahu thinks he could tell the American people what we should do.
“I am for Team America. I am for the interests of this country, and I believe that’s what [President] Donald Trump ran on. That includes American interests against any foreign country. We should have American sovereignty and make it clear that we strike 224. If we want to give aid to Israel, if we want to sell them weapons, that should be a vote for the entire Congress.”
Jacobs also said before the vote: “If any other country in the world had been credibly accused of violating US and international law again and again, of killing tens of thousands of civilians of blocking food and medicine from reaching a starving population, we would not be moving to deepen and permanently expand our military tides with them.”
