Strip Section 224 from the 2027 NDAA. This provision would fuse the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors at a level deeper than anything we have with NATO allies — joint R&D, co-production, data fusion, and potential access to U.S. military data by the Israeli military. That is not an aid relationship. That is a merger, and Congress never voted for it.
The public hasn't either. Only 16% of Americans support unconditional weapons supply to Israel, and 38% want to stop supplying weapons altogether. Section 224 doesn't just continue the status quo — it buries the relationship inside defense acquisition machinery where there is no annual vote, no public debate, and no diplomatic accountability. Co-production facilities in states like Mississippi and Arkansas are designed to manufacture congressional support, not security. This provision should not survive the NDAA.
