Israel ties seen as US risk
Twelve U.S. lawmakers, including 11 Democrats and independent Senator Bernie Sanders, urged congressional leaders to remove three provisions from the 2027 defense budget bill because they would expand defense, technological, and intelligence cooperation with Israel. They argue that this cooperation could make the United States more reliant on Israel and give Israel influence over sensitive weapons and technologies, while potentially limiting the administration’s ability to make independent security decisions. They cited the Iron Dome agreement, saying that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government had blocked the transfer of U.S. batteries to Ukraine. The letter criticized the Israeli government’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank and described the war on Iran as a strategic disaster that runs counter to U.S. interests.
