Summary
A bill before the US Congress, the 'United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative' (Section 224), proposes an unprecedented merger of US and Israeli military operations, including joint R&D, co-production of weapons, and licensing agreements. Critics argue this would effectively put the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in a leading role within the US defense industrial base, making the relationship so deeply entrenched that it would be impossible to disentangle.
