I’m calling in advance of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s markup of the National Defense Authorization Act to ask the Senator to oppose Section 224 (https://substack.com/redirect/484a2444-7f40-458c-a106-9a25fec2933c?j=eyJ1IjoiNm1seXYifQ.otOmJiKbuVjJchpYlNRHfEdUeScpGrrwie9zwfsSQuI). Given Israel’s actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and the illegal war in Iran, it is wrong to legislate unprecedented US-Israel defense integration. Senators shouldn’t support measures that give Israel – or any country – huge leverage over US defense priorities. This legislation will also make it extremely difficult for lawmakers, taxpayers, and future administrations to track and regulate US support for Israel. I expect my Senators to oppose Section 224 and push for stripping it from the NDAA.
