FIG.II / DISPATCH 31

Section 224 Would 'Synchronise' U.S. and Israeli Militaries — Buried in the NDAA. Massie: 'We Are a Sovereign Country.'

MASSIE / KHANNA · MAY 30–31, 2026 · STR

MASSIE / KHANNA
"designate an executive agent responsible for synchronising cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel"
"And I will be offering an amendment in the committee itself to strip section 224 out, @RepThomasMassie. Trump can't kill the Massie/Khanna partnership no matter how much he posts on Truth Social." — — Rep. Ro Khanna on X
Aid votes you can see. Section 224 moves the relationship into co-production, data fusion, and a permanent executive agent — language Rogers and Smith placed in the annual defense bill while Massie was still in the House saying he'll strip it. Coverage: 'deepening ties.' Missing: this is a merge written into authorisation law, filed quietly, the same week the president called a Netanyahu call 'very well' and Israel's own ministers were on camera fighting over zip-tied detainees. The institutional story and the human-rights story ran on different channels. Both were on the record.
