We know what the NDAA does say, here's what it doesn't say. 1. No explicit limits on the depth of Israeli involvement. - The language never states that Israeli personnel, companies, or officials are barred from working inside, embedding with, or gaining routine access to the listed U.S. organizations. It only says the U.S. side must “coordinate with” those agencies. 2. No prohibition on co-location, liaison officers. -Nothing prevents the creation of permanent joint offices, Israeli liaison officers inside U.S. R&D centers, or shared facilities. Older U.S.-Israel programs sometimes included these arrangements; the new language does not rule them out. 3. No new export-control or classification firewalls. -The text says collaboration must protect “sensitive technology and information and the national security interests of the United States and Israel,” but it does not add any new statutory restrictions beyond existing law. It relies entirely on current processes. 4. No off-ramps or sunset on the institutional framework. - Once the Initiative is established, it continues indefinitely. Permanent. There is no automatic expiration. There are is no language break the agreement if needed. 5. Very broad residual authority. - Catch-all language: “Other emerging technologies to address medium- or long-term threats as jointly agreed to by the United States and Israel” gives the two governments wide authority to expand the scope without coming back to Congress for new authority. 6. Industrial and co-production language is open-ended. - It explicitly encourages “United States based co-production or manufacturing partnerships with Israeli industry” and “defense industrial base cooperation.” It does not limit how much of the U.S. supply chain can be tied to Israeli firms or vice versa. This is permanent. The language is open broad, and creates dangerous loopholes. There is no clear language on the data that can be shared. None whatsoever. So, anything not forbidden in the language of the NDAA is possible. I've read and combed through both the House and Senate NDAAs. This is the most dangerous aspect of them.
