The NDAA is passed by Congress each year to set US military policy and authorise defence programmes and spending levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"753\">If enacted, the provision could mark a major change in one of the world\u2019s closest military relationships, shifting the two countries from a partnership centred largely on <a href=\"\/features\/2025\/10\/7\/reports-israel-couldnt-wage-wars-on-gaza-lebanon-iran-without-us-support\">American military aid<\/a> towards one in which their defence industries are more deeply intertwined.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"951\">Section 224 would require the US defence secretary to appoint an \u201cexecutive agent\u201d: a single official to coordinate military cooperation between the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1126\">That work would cover joint research and development, the shared production of weapons, and the linking of military systems and data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Congress is trying to do now is find different ways of entrenching the relationship so deep in America\u2019s own defence industrial base that it\u2019s impossible to root it out,\u201d Josh Paul, a former US State Department official and founder of the advocacy group A New Policy, said about the controversial provision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span class=\"ads__title\"> Advertisement <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cA new section of law in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would give Israel unprecedented access to American technology and would force the United States military to integrate Israeli defence technologies into our own critical military supply chain, giving Israel incredible leverage over America\u2019s own defence priorities,\u201d he added in a video posted on social media on Friday.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The two countries already build missile defence systems together, such as the Iron Dome.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would extend their joint work into many more areas of modern warfare, from artificial intelligence (AI) to drones and cyber operations.<\/p>\n<p>The provision comes <a href=\"\/news\/2024\/10\/7\/us-spends-more-than-20bn-in-aid-to-israel-middle-east-conflicts-report\">amid turmoil in the Middle East<\/a> following the joint US-Israeli attack on Iran earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In February, US and Israeli forces attacked Iran together, triggering five weeks of war; Iran struck back at Israel and at US bases in the Gulf before a ceasefire took hold in April.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"236\">Israel is also facing <a href=\"\/news\/2025\/10\/22\/icj-says-israel-must-allow-aid-into-blockaded-gaza-provide-basic-needs\">genocide allegations<\/a> in a case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice, the UN\u2019s top court, over its war on Gaza.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"decades-of-support\">Decades of support<\/h2>\n<p>The bill must first clear the House Armed Services Committee, which is due to take it up in early June, and then pass the full House and the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>It was proposed by the committee\u2019s Republican chairman, Mike Rogers, and its most senior Democrat, Adam Smith, giving it support from both main parties, even as opinion polls suggest <a href=\"\/news\/2026\/5\/21\/poll-finds-nearly-three-quarters-of-democratic-voters-oppose-aid-to-israel\">growing opposition<\/a> among American Democrats and some Republicans to further military support for Israel.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The US has supported Israel\u2019s military for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2008, US law has required Washington to protect Israel\u2019s \u201cqualitative military edge\u201d, keeping its forces stronger and more advanced than those of any rival in the region, on the grounds that a small country must rely on better weapons rather than greater numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Under the current aid deal signed during the administration of former President Barack Obama, Washington provides Israel with about $3.8bn a year in military assistance. The 10-year agreement runs through 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign aid since 1948, almost all of it now military and worth well over $300bn when adjusted for inflation.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The nature of that support may now be changing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that he wants to end Israel\u2019s reliance on US military aid within 10 years, saying his country had \u201ccome of age\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Closer cooperation between the two defence industries, rather than cash, would likely fit that goal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span class=\"ads__title\"> Advertisement <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (4 mins) Save Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at an American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference in Washington, DC, US [File: Brian Snyder\/Reuters] By Al Jazeera Staff Published On 30 May 202630 May 2026 A provision [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1204,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
