Gaza Corner Guest Ben Freeman

Director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute. Ben is the co-author of the recently released The Trillion Dollar War Machine:
How Runaway Military Spending Drives America into Foreign Wars and Bankrupts Us at Home


Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries
In the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows, the House's 2027 NDAA would all but fuse the two countries' armed forces together
(by Ben Freeman, 29 May 2026)

S.4615 - Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027:
SEC. 622. United States-Israel intelligence sharing enhancement.

Democrat fails to block US measure to deepen Israel military cooperation
Congressman Ro Khanna says integration push only boosts Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, but his push to revoke the measure fell short.
(by Ali Harb, Al Jazeera, 4 June 2026)

As support for Israel declines in the U.S., the 'Special Relationship 2.0' is starting to take shape
Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies in Congress have begun calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel, but this won't end the "special relationship" between the two countries. In fact, recent signs suggest it may only deepen U.S. military ties to Israel.
(by Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoseiss, 17 May 2026)

New Memo: Five US Laws And Requirements That Mandate An End To All Giveaways and Sales of US Weapons To Israel
Israel's Proposal to End US Military Funding Is Actually Designed to Further Enmesh the US in Its Oppression of Palestinians
