Congress moves to expand US-Israel military tech sharing
A House bill would deepen the sharing of US military technology, data, and intelligence with Israel, framed here as a bad deal for American taxpayers.
- The bill would tie US and Israeli military tech and data together far more closely, letting Israel access weapons and intelligence the US paid to develop.
- US intelligence has flagged Israel as one of the top espionage risks, making the handover especially controversial.
- Two members of Congress, including Ro Khanna, are trying to block the measure and force it to a recorded vote instead of slipping it in quietly.
- The framing is that both parties and mainstream media downplay the cost, treating a huge giveaway as routine.
Outlook: Expect a fight over whether the provision gets an open vote or passes buried inside a larger bill.
