US Congress moves to deepen military ties with Israel: Why it matters

Why Iran won't give up Hormuz Could Israel sabotage US-Iran deal? Lawmakers in the United States are quietly advancing a proposal that could deepen military ties between the US and Israel in unprecedented ways, at a time when public support for Israel among Americans is increasingly fractured. Among the provisions included in the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) released this week is Section 224, the "United States-Israel Defence Technology Cooperation Initiative". Some legislators have already signalled opposition, with Representative Thomas Massie saying he would seek to remove the provision if it reaches the House floor. The measure remains at an early stage, but analysts say if passed, it would limit political oversight over the defence relationship.
