August 25, 2026The House passed H.R. 8800 by 216–212 on July 22. Two narrow Luna amendments were adopted in a voice vote: one extends annual reporting and one removes several uses of “integration.” Section 219 remains in the bill; the full-strike amendments were not allowed. Senate cloture remains defeated 50–46. GovInfo’s July 22 House-engrossed text confirms the adopted changes and that Section 219 remains. A July 23 motion was withdrawn, but on July 27 the Senate made another motion to proceed. The latest official record does not show that motion being withdrawn. Ask senators to block these provisions in the Senate or conference, and ask House members to oppose any final bill unless Section 219 is removed.

FY 2027 NDAA · S. 4784 Section 1217 / H.R. 8800 Section 219

Stop theBetrayal.

Congress is considering provisions that would accelerate U.S.–Israel defense-technology integration across research, procurement, co-production, training, and information sharing—while leaving the public without basic cost controls in these sections.

Read the official text: Senate §1217 · House §219

Our position

A treasonous betrayal of public trust.

Burying an open-ended military initiative inside must-pass defense legislation is an end-run around democratic accountability. “Treasonous” is our political judgment—not a claim that the constitutional crime of treason has been legally established.

The accountability gap

Five safeguards these sections do not contain.

Congress retains appropriations and oversight powers. The objection is that these provisions authorize the initiative without the transparent, Israel-specific controls the public should demand.

01

Dedicated appropriation

No Israel-specific funding line in these sections.

02

Dollar cap

No ceiling on the initiative’s total cost.

03

Complete public accounting

No single public tally of Israel-specific spending.

04

Project-level vote

No prospective vote on each joint venture or program.

05

Program sunset

No date when the initiative itself automatically ends.

Follow the money and reporting structure

Why this fight is urgent

The consequences are not theoretical.

The U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, and Israeli human-rights organization B’Tselem have issued genocide findings concerning Israel’s conduct in Gaza. Human Rights Watch warns that these provisions could deepen U.S. complicity.

The International Court of Justice has issued provisional measures. Merits proceedings remain pending, and those measures are not a final genocide judgment.
