Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
A claim circulated online in June 2026 that the U.S. Congress is preparing to fully integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries through the annual defense budget bill. The rumor originated from a Responsible Statecraft article titled "Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries." However, social media users falsely claimed the two militaries would fully merge. While the defense bill outlines closer collaboration between the two countries, many details remain unclear, and the claim of full integration is inaccurate.
