According to Al Jazeera, a group of 11 U.S. senators led by Chris Van Hollen has sent a letter to congressional leadership urging the removal of three provisions concerning defense, technology, and intelligence cooperation with Israel from the final text of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and related intelligence legislation for fiscal year 2027. The senators stated that these provisions raise concerns regarding U.S. interests and values. The letter constitutes a request rather than a finalized legislative amendment.
