The House of Representatives has passed a $1.15 trillion defense bill that aims to expand military cooperation between the United States and Israel, including in missile defense, drones, and artificial intelligence.

The bill, passed by the House of Representatives, allocates a total of $1.15 trillion to US military spending. Among its provisions is an explicit strengthening of operational ties with Israel, structured around three areas: missile defense, drone systems, and military applications of artificial intelligence.

This institutionalized rapprochement comes amid growing political divisions in the United States over the issue of aid to Israel. Critical voices are being raised to denounce the risk of a deepening of American involvement at a time when support for Tel Aviv is the subject of increasingly heated internal debate within Congress itself.

The bill must still pass the Senate before being submitted for presidential signature. Its final adoption would determine the legal and budgetary framework for bilateral military cooperation for the coming months.
