Keith,

House and Senate committees advanced legislation that would massively expand U.S.-Israeli military cooperation.¹

A provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) calls for the U.S. and Israel to co-produce weapons, coordinate AI tech for war, and meld together the U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex. It would also eliminate any oversight, hiding U.S. funding, weapons, and intelligence support for Israel out of public view.^2,3

Rep. Ro Khanna introduced an amendment to remove this provision but members of both parties voted it down in the House Armed Services Committee.⁴ We won’t stand for this extreme proposal to deepen U.S. complicity with Israel’s horrific wars and genocidal violence.

Sign the petition: Block legislation that would expand U.S. military cooperation with Israel!

The “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” in the NDAA is a shadowy attempt to codify unconditional military support for Israel. It would create a deeply intertwined military relationship that shares in weapons, surveillance, data, and research with no transparency.

Senator Bernie Sanders said Congress is, “Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally.”⁵

As Congress advances this legislation, we must show our deep opposition to this expansive, secretive cooperation with the Israeli military.

Sign the petition: Oppose U.S.-Israeli military cooperation in the NDAA!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
