House Lawmakers Vow to ‘Fight’ Against NDAA’s U.S.-Israel Defense Integration Provision –The narrow NDAA passage in the House may face headwinds in the Senate, where the GOP also has a very slim majority. | 23 July 2026 | House lawmakers plan to “fight” against a proposal to extend U.S.-Israel military cooperation that was passed in the annual defense spending bill. One of the parts of the bill, Section 2019, would expand U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation. It has been overwhelmingly supported by House Republicans while House Democrats have been split on its integration. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) reacted with disdain after the House passed the NDAA and excluded an amendment that they had introduced that would have blocked this section.
