House passes $1.15 trillion defense bill by four-vote margin, expands Israel military cooperation
The US House passed a $1.15 trillion defense authorization bill by a narrow 216-212 vote. The bill funds the ongoing war on Iran and expands US-Israel weapons cooperation under a provision known as Section 219.
The US House narrowly passed the $1.15 trillion 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, 216 to 212, with only six Democrats crossing party lines to support it and seven Republicans voting against it. The bill funds the ongoing US war on Iran and includes Section 219, a US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative requiring the Pentagon to coordinate joint weapons development with Israel. It now heads to a Senate where Democrats already blocked debate on an earlier version.
