DESCRIPTION:As President Trump claims that U.S. military support for Israel will be 
 phased out by year's end, congressional leaders are negotiating provisions 
 in the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that could 
 fundamentally transform and deepen the military relationship between the 
 two countries.\n\nAt the center of this effort is the proposed U.S.-Israel 
 Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, Section 219 of the House NDAA 
 and Section 1217 of the Senate version. These provisions would expand joint 
 weapons production and military technology development in AI, quantum, and 
 cyber warfare, and integrate the two militaries’ intelligence and 
 surveillance infrastructure through “data fusion.”\n\nWe call this 
 initiative The Deadly Merger.\n\nIn this webinar, we will examine the true 
 dangers of this and its role in the Netanyahu-led plan to completely 
 transform the U.S.-Israel military alliance into a structure that is far 
 more difficult to disrupt and dismantle than traditional military 
 “aid.” We will explore the implications for Palestinians, the growing 
 military and surveillance infrastructure, and communities across the United 
 States.\n\nEnding direct military aid does not mean ending military 
 complicity. If Congress succeeds in institutionalizing this deeper 
 partnership, the consequences could extend far beyond a traditional foreign 
 military assistance agreement.\n\nJoin us in a webinar to understand what 
 is at stake in the FY2027 NDAA, what Congress is negotiating, and why 
 stopping the Deadly Merger matters.\n
