Congress Blocks Amendment To Stop Integration of U.S. And Israeli Militaries <!-- --> | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

A decision from Congress blocking a bipartisan amendment introduced by representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna that would have removed the controversial provision from the National Defense Authorization Act (”NDAA”) integrating the U.S. and Israeli militaries answered that lingering question by showing that unfettered support for Israel remains business as usual in Washington, D.C., despite any empty political posturing to the contrary.

The amendment introduced by Massie and Khanna sought to remove Section 219 (formerly Section 224) from this year’s NDAA. That provision is poised to establish a United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative which expands cooperation between the two nations in a manner that opponents have raised criticisms about over how it effectively integrates their two militaries.

When discussing the provision, Massie succinctly summarized that position felt by U.S. citizens, stating, “If Section 219 is signed into law, the American people should see it as Congress fully capitulating our nation’s autonomy to foreign influence.”

Ultimately, those warnings have fallen upon deaf ears in the U.S. House of Representatives following the actions of its rules committee, which will now bring a vote on the NDAA to the floor without any possibility of removing Section 219 from the text of the legislation. With the NDAA’s passage with Section 219 intact being a fait accompli in the House, the only remaining hope that the provision will be struck down lies in the hands of the Senate. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been the lone voice in the Senate expressing disapproval of Section 219 and has urged Congress to remove the provision from the proposed legislation

With that being the status quo in Washington, D.C. on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, Americans are left to reconcile how they can truly commemorate their independence when it has become clear their government continues to serve a foreign nation, making the nation’s semiquincentennial less of a celebration and more of a eulogy.

That amendment sought to strike "Section 219" (formerly Section 224) from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which calls for an unprecedented level of U.S.-Israeli military and technology integration. For context on Rand Paul's history with the issue, the Kentucky Senator previously placed legislative holds on multi-billion dollar military aid packages for Israel in 2018, arguing that any foreign aid should be "limited in time and scope so we aren't doing it forever

Proponents argue the provision on the House Armed Services Committee website ensures American forces maintain a technological edge. Critics, however, warn the provision on the Military.com site commits the U.S. to an unprecedented level of military integration without proper congressional oversight. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Sanders Says ‘We Must’ Strip Section on US-Israeli Military Integration From Pentagon Budget​

“The American people deserve a foreign policy that serves American interests and American values,” said another critic, “not legislation that places the priorities of a foreign government above American sovereignty.”​

US Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday urged congressional lawmakers to strike a highly controversial provision from next year’s military spending authorization bill that is aimed at deepening integration of the US and Israeli armed forces under the guise of reducing aid.

A provision of the proposed $1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2027 originally titled Section 224 but now renumbered Section 219 would establish a formal “United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” requiring the US defense secretary to designate a Pentagon executive agent responsible for coordinating and expanding US-Israel defense technology collaboration.

‘Unconscionable,’ Says Khanna as House Panel Blocks Effort to Prevent Deeper US-Israeli Military Ties​

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza—has called the section his personal plan.

“Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said on social media. “We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.”

Earlier this month, members of the House Armed Services Committee from both parties rejected an amendment introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to remove the integration provision from the 2027 NDAA. The committee then advanced the broader defense package. The Senate Armed Services Committee subsequently voted to advance the proposed NDAA.

​

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)—an anti-interventionist libertarian who recently lost his reelection primary to a challenger backed by President Donald Trump—said Sunday that he and Khanna have submitted an amendment to strip Section 219 from the proposed NDAA. Massie’s measure requires the assent of seven of the House Rules Committee’s 13 members to get a vote.


In addition to Section 219, another provision of the proposed NDAA, Section 622, would “expand and enhance intelligence sharing” with Israel, including “information relating to cybersecurity threats, terrorism, sanctions evasion, plans and intentions of state and nonstate actors, adversarial technology proliferation, missile threats, unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, air and space domain awareness, and other aerial threats relevant to the defense of Israel, United States forces and interests in the region, and regional security partners.”

Section 622, which was introduced by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), also limits restrictions on intelligence sharing with Israel.

“This proposal is one of several recent moves by those in Washington who carry the Israeli government’s water to keep the United States tied to Israel despite plummeting support for the country among the American public,” Paul Pillar wrote last week for Responsible Statecraft.

“The most salient form of US support to Israel has been more than $300 billion in economic and especially military assistance. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tried to get ahead of the declining public support and avoid embarrassing losses by suggesting it would be fine with him to phase out the military aid,” he continued.

“Israel’s strategy and that of its US supporters is now to rely on ties with, and support from, the United States that are not as salient as the military aid with its prominent price tag,” Pillar added. “The strategy includes forms of military integration that are less visible than congressionally appropriated grant aid and therefore less publicly accountable. Section [219] of a defense authorization bill currently in the House of Representatives embodies this form of integration.”


Sections 219 and 622 come in the wake of the Pentagon’s warning of growing espionage threats posed to the United States by Israel, which has a long history of spying on the US. Recent concerns center on Israel’s alleged attempts to sabotage efforts to end the Iran War.

Responding to the proposed Sections 219 and 622, Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, recently said in a statement that “Congress must act to block these Israel‑first bills that would force a deeper US and Israel military and intelligence merger, a merger that will weaken independent American oversight, compromise US national interests, and pull the country into foreign conflicts without democratic consent.”

“The American people did not elect Congress to merge our military infrastructure, intelligence systems, defense technologies, artificial intelligence capabilities, cyber operations, and regional security architecture with a foreign government accused of genocide, apartheid, war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, torture, starvation policies, and the unlawful targeting of civilians,” he continued.

“Instead of demanding accountability... Congress is seeking to reward the Israeli government with even deeper access to American military capabilities, technologies, intelligence resources, and strategic infrastructure,” McCaw added. “The American people deserve a foreign policy that serves American interests and American values, not legislation that places the priorities of a foreign government above American sovereignty, accountability, and self-government.”

“Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said on social media. “We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.”










Supporters of Section 219 argue that the initiative strengthens an already close alliance, improves defense innovation, and helps both countries respond more effectively to emerging threats. Organizations backing the provision, such as AIPAC, have described it as a natural extension of existing defense cooperation.

aint it enough they get our fucking tax dollars ? or that we go to war for them , or support a genocide? fucking parasites

A letter from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has exposed the driving force behind the push to restructure US-Israel military relations. In Netanyahu’s own words, it is “my plan”.

The letter, shared widely on social media, reveals that the transition away from American military aid to Israel is not a US-led reform, but an Israeli initiative delivered to Congress for legislative packaging. Its purpose is not to reduce American entanglement with Israel, but to replace visible financial assistance with a far deeper and less accountable form of military integration.

Dated 1 June, 2026 and addressed to Israeli lobby funded Congressman Marlin Stutzman of Indiana, the letter was released alongside a press statement announcing a House resolution introduced by Stutzman on 3 June.

Pro-Israel groups have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in an advertising campaign against Republic Senator Rand Paul this week over his attempts to block US security aid to Israel.

Paul says he opposes the open-ended US aid to Israel, citing the need for the existing legislation to be amended before the final version is approved by the Senate.

Paul is an outspoken critic of US foreign aid and has been one of President Donald Trump’s most significant Republican critics on foreign policy.

“While I’m not for foreign aid in general, if we are going to send aid to Israel it should be limited in time and scope so we aren’t doing it forever, and it should be paid for by cutting the aid to people who hate Israel and America,” a statement from Paul’s office said.

The Libertarian senator from Kentucky recently put a congressional hold on the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act which authorizes $38 billion in funding from the US to Israel.

A hold is a congressional procedure that allows senators to prevent a motion from reaching the floor for a vote.

Senator Bernie Sanders wrote that the section "quietly expands U.S. military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight," adding the section was tantamount to "burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally."[35][36]

NO FUCKING OVERSIGHT!!!!

On February 19, 2026, AIPAC endorsed the bill, supporting its "encouraging US-based co-production, joint ventures, and manufacturing partnerships with Israeli industry."[12] In the first quarter of 2026, AIPAC reported lobbying for the bill at the Department of Defense as well as on Capitol Hill.[12] In a fact sheet published on June 4, 2026, AIPAC wrote that Section 224 is "a critical new provision to strengthen and streamline U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation."[16]


In a June 4, 2026 interview with Jewish Currents, Paul said that the "off ramp" for US aid to Israel would "seem on the surface to provide a net savings to the US taxpayer and to shift the cost burden for [Israel’s] weapon procurements to Israel."[47] Paul added that,[47]



On June 5, 2026, AIPAC released a press release applauding the House Armed Services Committee's passage of Section 224, along with funds for several US-Israel cooperative programs, writing, "We now encourage the full House to maintain these pro-Israel measures as the NDAA moves toward final passage."[41]

In a June 4, 2026 interview with Jewish Currents, Paul said that the "off ramp" for US aid to Israel would "seem on the surface to provide a net savings to the US taxpayer and to shift the cost burden for [Israel’s] weapon procurements to Israel."[47] Paul added that,[47]

"Imagine a world in which—as Section 224 proposes—Israeli technology is integrated into U.S. military systems. Last year alone, US Defense Department procurement topped $160 billion, with a further $140 billion spent on research and development. In that context, US foreign assistance is, despite all the hype it gets, relatively small beans. Integrating Israel as a key source into the Department of Defense supply chain, on the other hand, opens up prospects that could not only make up for, but over time dwarf, the billions in handouts Israel’s military currently gets. And unlike the current grant assistance, which mostly pays for US weapons systems, this would be money going directly into Israel’s economy. And that’s before accounting for the access to emerging US technology and intellectual property that Israel would have access to and be able to spin off for commercial purposes."

It sounds like normal cooperation of the level we already have with several other allies, but suddenly it's being labeled as "surrendering our Sovereignty".

How can we surrender it to Isreal now, when apparently we already gave it away to Australia, Japan, all of NATO, and probably a few others as well.

NATO is a far greater threat to the US military sovereignty than anything proposed with Isreal, and it is exactly the sort of "entangling alliance" that the founders warned of. Nothing proposed or even foreseeable with Isreal comes anywhere close to that.

As for intelligence sharing, we seem to be getting far more out of that deal than they are, but to be sure, we're both better off for the deal.

Congress Quietly Moves To Intertwine US, Israeli Militaries On Formal Level<!-- --> | ZeroHedge

www.zerohedge.com

What follows is some fuller reporting from Responsible Statecraft, which warms that "the result could well be a US political system even more susceptible to the whims of an Israeli government that seemingly has no qualms about drawing the US into military conflicts in the Middle East"...

Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of US-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The US and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the US military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data.
If fully enacted, this proposal would provide a higher level of military-industrial integration than the US has with any other country in the world. To be sure, the US has worked closely with its NATO partners on co-production and shared supply chains, most notably via the Defence Production Action Plan. And, as the number one arms dealer in the world, the US provides weapons to militaries across the globe. But that is mostly a one-way street, with the US providing weapons to foreign buyers who only occasionally make parts for those weapons themselves, as in the case of the F-35’s global supply chain.
Section 224 would be a different beast entirely. It would fuse the US and Israeli defense sectors in multiple areas vital to the battlefields of the future, like autonomous systems and cyber. It would also bring extraordinary Israeli influence to the US beyond what it already has through the Israel lobby and its robust network of social media influencers. It would give the Israeli government the opportunity to greatly expand one of the most powerful levers of influence in US politics: jobs in the US By expanding or starting new co-production facilities like it already has in Mississippi and Arkansas, the Israeli government could boast of providing jobs on US soil, thereby securing allies among members of Congress who represent the districts where those jobs lie.

This unprecedented level of U.S.-Israeli military integration stands in stark contrast to the traditional aid model of defense cooperation, in which Israel already stood out as the top recipient of U.S. military assistance. As laid out in a recent Quincy Institute brief, authored by Steven Simon, this shift from an aid model to a military integration model has troubling implications, namely:

But ending aid in this context does not mean ending US financial support for Israel’s military and defense sector. It means changing the institutional form through which that support is delivered. The concept, in effect, is not to reduce support for Israel’s military; it is to shift it from the foreign-operations budget and the State Department’s oversight to the Pentagon’s procurement, research and development, industrial base, and sustainment machinery.

Once that migration is complete, aid in the conventional sense — a grant administered through foreign-assistance legislation, subject to State Department conditions, and debated annually in foreign-policy terms — will largely disappear. In its place will be a web of procurement contracts, co-production arrangements, licensing deals, and sustainment pipelines that are governed by acquisition law, managed by program offices, and justified in the language of US military readiness and industrial capacity.
