Vote no on Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA before it clears the House Armed Services Committee in early June. This provision would embed Israel's defense industry into America's critical military supply chain, giving a government facing genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice unprecedented leverage over US defense priorities. The US already provides Israel $3.8 billion a year in military assistance and has sent over $300 billion in aid since 1948. Section 224 would go further, locking our military into joint AI, drone, and cyber programs with Israel — not as a temporary arrangement, but as a structural dependency. Former State Department official Josh Paul warns this would force the US to integrate Israeli technologies into systems we cannot easily disentangle. That's not partnership. That's a trap. Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign aid in history, and its own prime minister says he wants to end that reliance within a decade. Deeper industrial integration is how he gets there — on our dime, with our technology, while the ICJ investigates his government for genocide. The US should be reducing its military entanglement with Israel, not codifying it into law. Kill this provision.
