House approves $1.15T defense bill with Israel clause
The House passed a $1.15 trillion defense bill amid deep partisan division, primarily over a provision expanding U.S.-Israel defense cooperation. The controversial Section 219 would integrate Israeli defense technology within the Pentagon's systems and establish a dedicated Pentagon "executive agent" to oversee joint efforts, prompting opposition from Democrats concerned about sovereignty and transparency. Despite amendments altering some reporting requirements, opponents argue the provision could entrench Israeli technology in U.S. military programs, while supporters claim it would enhance coordination and access to defense innovations.
