It’s called Section 219. Tucked away in the massive congressional spending bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, this provision of the law would effectively require our nation to permanently entangle the American military with the Israeli military.
Among other things, the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative would require the US to share intelligence with Israel and establish a system of weapons research, development, and production, particularly in the domains crucial to warfare in the modern age: artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and various other fields of high defense technology.
The House provision, which has a Senate version known as Section 1217, would also forbid the president of the United States from limiting intelligence collaboration with Israel over its human rights abuses. If the President ever wants to limit such collaboration, he or she must tell Congress and can only cite American national security as a basis.
In other words, these bills would connect the US and Israeli militaries in unprecedented ways and make it exceedingly difficult for any future president to unwind this partnership with a foreign government.
If these bills pass in their current form, the US military would be more integrated with Israel’s than with that of any other country, including America’s NATO allies.

The president said the U.S. will impose a 20 percent fee on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting official assertions that fees would violate international law.
The deal that the United States and Iran struck last month to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate over Tehran’s nuclear program was merely “a test,” President Donald Trump said Monday, dismissing what he said weeks ago was a “great deal” that could lead to broader peace across the Middle East.
Trump’s remarks in a radio interview came a few hours after he announced on social media that the Navy would reimpose a blockade of Iranian ports and notified Congress that he was resuming hostilities.

IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive
'There was crazy hysteria, and decisions started being made without verified information': Documents and testimonies obtained by Haaretz reveal the Hannibal operational order, which directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity, was employed at three army facilities infiltrated by Hamas, potentially endangering civilians as well
Gaza Division operations and airstrikes in the first hours of October 7 were based on limited information. The first long moments after the Hamas attack was launched were chaotic. Reports were coming in, with their significance not always clear. When their meaning was understood, it was realized that something horrific had taken place.
