🇺🇸🇮🇱 The merger between the U.S. and Israel has a third piece almost nobody is talking about. While Section 224 fuses the militaries, Section 622 moves to fuse the intelligence services... Buried in a 192-page intelligence authorization bill from Sen.Tom Cotton, Section 622 would legally require the president to "expand and enhance intelligence sharing" with Israel across nearly every topic of intelligence interest in the Middle East. It would prohibit any reduction in that sharing except for a "specific and identifiable national security concern," then force a detailed report to Congress within 15 days justifying it. Read that mechanism again carefully. It strips the president of the ability to limit what America tells Israel, then makes any attempt to do so a political fight the Israel lobby can frame as being "against Israel's security." It welds the intelligence spigot open by law. Now stack the three pieces moving through Congress at once: -The Stutzman resolution phases out visible aid. -Section 224 integrates the militaries. -Section 622 mandates intelligence sharing. Each one is less publicly accountable than the last. Aid is a line item voters can see. Intelligence liaison happens in the dark, where no price tag ever appears. The strategy is to move the relationship out of public view precisely as public support collapses. And the timing is the most scandalous part. The Pentagon just rated Israel a "critical" espionage threat. Congress's response to all of it is to legally mandate that America share more secrets with the country its own spy agencies say is robbing it. Source: Responsible States Craft / Writer: Daniel
