Assessment
The House has approved a major defense spending package that formally expands the technological partnership between the US military and Israel. The bill allocates significant funding for joint defense programs, signaling a structural deepening of bilateral defense ties beyond traditional aid. The next step is Senate consideration, where the provision's fate will determine whether this cooperation framework becomes law.
