Tom Cotton on May 20, the bill is pending Senate floor consideration. Its supporting section argues that the partnership advances U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >national interests-citing shared threats<\/a> such as terrorism, efforts to evade sanctions, and aggression by state and non-state actors-and calls for structuring U.S.defense assistance to help Israel maintain its military edge.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation also directs future presidents to report to relevant congressional committees on progress toward integrating Israel into regional air and missile defense and early-warning frameworks, and it encourages increased interoperability of related technology and systems. It further specifies that intelligence sharing could be cut back only if the president identifies a specific and identifiable national security concern. The bill arrives amid ongoing U.S. intelligence-community turbulence following President Donald Trump\u2019s appointment of Bill pulte as acting director of national intelligence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep within the proposed<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/119\/bills\/s4615\/BILLS-119s4615pcs.pdf\"> Senate Intelligence Authorization Act<\/a> are provisions to enhance <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/intelligence\/\">intelligence<\/a> sharing between the United States and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\">Israel<\/a>.
