A New Policy

America’s lobby for a new U.S. policy toward the Middle East that advances our interests and aligns with our values.

Josh Paul explores the security and ethical risks of integrating Israeli cyber technology-specifically spyware-into the United States military industrial base.

Josh Paul discusses how Congress and Israeli allies are attempting to solidify the current military relationship by embedding it deeply within the Pentagon's infrastructure through Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Netanyahu saying it was “my plan to shift the framework for U.S.-Israel defense cooperation from aid to partnership.”

We had Josh Paul on BP this morning to break down what this means. It would give Israel extraordinary leverage over the U.S. by embedding their technology in our supply chains and weapons systems.

[Nick Cleveland-Stout @nick_clevelands]

J Street tells me it supports the removal of Section 224. Full statement:

"The war in Gaza, rising extremist Jewish terror in the West Bank and the US-Israel war with Iran have highlighted the need for a fundamental reassessment of the US-Israel security relationship. This requires substantial debate between agencies, policymakers, Congress and the U.S. public. Rushing this provision through a must-pass piece of legislation when the underlying bill has fewer than fifty Members does not meet that bar. While J Street supports continued partnership between Israel and the United States where our interests align, we have serious concerns about Section 224, the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative – and the framework it lays out for the future of US-Israel security cooperation. We will support amendments to remove the provision, as well as efforts to add necessary guardrails to it." - @jstreetdotorg

As A New Policy's Josh Paul tells the @washingtonpost, Netanyahu's plan is for Israel to "maintain the military-to-military relationship... in a way that is sheltered from... American public sentiment..." https://t.co/m8s4OVg0Iw

Gaza needs a major surge in humanitarian aid, and it needs to happen now.

The Trump Administration claims they have a plan, but no progress is being made while people starve.

And for everyone else looking for a way to halt this hand-out of U.S. tech and the integration of Israeli systems into our defense supply chain - let Mike Rogers and his colleagues know how you feel - sign our letter here: https://t.co/Gw0PKgTkIs

[A New Policy @anewpolicyorg]

If this is correct, why are our contacts *in the U.S. Defense Industrial Base* warning us that Section 224 would expose critical military technologies to exploitation? @RepMikeRogersAL you need to hit the brakes on this legislation. Our analysis is here: https://t.co/smSqjaHuXI

[Mike Rogers @RepMikeRogersAL]

Israel is far and away the best ally the United States has in the Middle East, and our cooperative programs with them strengthen our national security by giving our warfighters access to cutting edge technologies. Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2027 doesn’t create any new programs within the Department of Defense. It simply adds transparency and improves efficiency by designating a single official to coordinate existing initiatives. In no way does it give away command and control of our military operations, personnel, or equipment. Misinformation in relation to Israel and our close partnership with them has always run rampant, and bad actors are all too happy to stoke these flames when given the opportunity. Any narrative that this legislation is somehow ceding control to another country in any way is categorically false and misleading. The NDAA strengthens American sovereignty and American national security first and foremost.

[Dr. Adam Hamawy @HamawyForNJ]

@RonPaul See this thread for how you can take action to stop it!

[A New Policy @anewpolicyorg]

‼️TAKE ACTION: Congress quietly introduced plans that would intertwine our military with Israel’s, giving Israel unprecedented access to American military technology and research at a time when public opinion of the Israeli government is at an all-time low.
