House Passes 2027 NDAA With U.S.-Israel Defense Cooperation Provision

The House passed the 2027 defense authorization bill 216-212 with a provision expanding U.S.-Israel defense cooperation. Massie opposed the provision. Center outlets focus on Massie and Ro Khanna's effort to remove the provision as the bill moves to the Senate, alongside opponents' sovereignty concerns. Right-leaning outlets share that focus on opposition and sovereignty but give more emphasis to the separate-vote dispute and concerns about oversight.
