Khanna and Massie Challenge US-Israel Defense Tech Cooperation in NDAA
Reps. Ro Khanna, a progressive Democrat from California, and Thomas Massie, a libertarian Republican from Kentucky, have joined forces to oppose a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2027. This provision aims to expand US-Israel defense technology cooperation by requiring the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive agent to synchronize efforts between the two nations. Both lawmakers have expressed their intent to remove this section from the bill, with Massie planning to offer an amendment on the House floor and Khanna intending to propose an amendment in committee. This collaboration marks another instance of their cross-ideological alliance, following their previous opposition to US involvement in Israel's war in Iran.
