Section 224 of the bill contains an unprecedented plan to pull the United States and Israel into deeper military integration across weapons development, emerging technology, manufacturing, data systems, stockpiles, drones, tunnels, and future-war capabilities. Our data would be their data and their problems would be our problems. And Israel would hold enormous power over the US.
US military aid to Israel and related regional war cost American taxpayers about $33.77 billion over two years from October 7, 2023 through September 2025. James Li said the US would no longer consider US taxpayer money that is given to Israel as aid, instead it would be part of the military budget because our two militaries will actually merge into one!

Just as Americans sour on another Middle East war, and as Israel's grip on Washington grows too obvious to politely ignore, Congress has found a way to make the relationship even harder to escape.

The House Armed Services Committee chairman released on Tuesday a record-breaking $1.15 trillion fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), presenting it as a bill to strengthen America's defense industry.

But alongside the war-spending bonanza sits a far more consequential project: an unprecedented plan to pull the United States and Israel into deeper military integration across weapons development, emerging technology, manufacturing, data systems, stockpiles, drones, tunnels, and future-war capabilities.

The central provision is Section 224, titled the "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative."

Its language is direct:

This section would require the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive agent responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.
