Rights groups urge US to cut military ties with Israel
The article focused on claims from 56 human rights and civil organizations to the U.S. Congress regarding the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. They are urging the repeal of Section 219, which aims to enhance military technological cooperation between the United States and Israel. The organizations expressed concern that deepening military cooperation with Israel could be dangerous, especially amid waning American public support for Israel and increasing criticism within the Democratic Party. Additionally, U.S. military aid to Israel amounts to $3.8 billion annually through 2028. Despite some members' attempts to remove the section from the bill, the amendments were not included. A bipartisan consensus is expected to be reached before the end of the year, after which the bill will be sent to President Donald Trump for signature or veto.
