In practical terms, it directs the Pentagon to deepen the integration of US and Israeli military research, defense technology development, weapons manufacturing, and military-industrial supply chains under a single coordinating framework. Critics argue that this represents an unprecedented level of institutional integration between the United States and a foreign military partner. I recently sat down with Tucker Carlson on my podcast, East Meets West, and one of the questions I asked him was about this new level of military integration between the US and Israel. Never before in US history has a foreign nation been granted this degree of institutional integration into America’s military research and defense industrial base. It means shared research, shared development, shared procurement, and an even deeper intelligence relationship.
