Massie Amendment Would Cut US-Israel Defense Program From NDAA Text
The measure still needs the Rules Committee's clearance before it can reach the House floor for a vote on this year's defense bill.
- Section 219 of the underlying NDAA text creates the US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.
- Massie filed the amendment against House Rules Committee Print 119-33, the bill's current vehicle.
- The filing surfaced as a renewed push when the House reconvened the week of July 13, 2026.
Why it matters: Bundling one country's military integration into a thousand-page bill is how it avoids facing its own vote.
