Bernie Sanders Warns of Risks as US-Israel Military Integration Plan Draws Scrutiny
July 24, 2026
Whose interests should America’s military serve?
Ben Freeman, Director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, exposes the quiet legislative push inside Congress to deeply intertwine the U.S. and Israeli military-industrial complexes under the guise of defense cooperation.
Under proposed defense spending provisions (championed by Rep. Marlin Stutzman), traditional foreign aid is being swapped for a permanent defense-industrial merger across AI, cybersecurity, drones, and future military tech.
“Our factories become their factories. Our data becomes their data.” Netanyahu himself called this “my plan” in an official letter to Congress, effectively dictating how Washington writes its national security legislation.
While the vast majority of Americans demand accountability, restraint, and an end to foreign entanglements in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Washington is cementing an inescapable, multi-billion-dollar military marriage.
America’s military exists to defend America’s interests.
Foreign policy should be written in Washington for the American people, not by the priorities of any foreign leader.
