House approves sweeping $1.15T defense bill expanding Israel collaboration
The US House narrowly passed the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, a $1.15 trillion defense package that expands military-technology cooperation with Israel and funds a broader effort against Iran, largely along party lines. Democrats warn about the cost and policy shifts, and the bill faces an uncertain Senate path, where debates have stalled, with Ukraine aid and voting restrictions also tied to the package.
