The provision would require the US defence secretary to appoint a senior “executive agent” to oversee and coordinate joint work with Israel.

A proposal before the US Congress could significantly deepen defence ties between the US and Israel, increasing cooperation in military research, production and advanced technology.

The plan appears in Section 224 of the House Armed Services Committee’s version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets out US defence policy and spending priorities each year.

The provision, titled the “United States-Israel Defence Technology Cooperation Initiative", would require the US defence secretary to appoint a senior “executive agent" to oversee and coordinate joint work with Israel.

This official would oversee collaboration across a wide range of areas, including weapons research, development, testing, evaluation, system integration and defence industry cooperation.

“Sec. 224: This section would require the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive agent responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation," the report said.
