Whereas both the United States and Israel face growing 
threats from terrorist organizations, state-sponsored ag-
gression, and technological warfare, which continue to 
evolve in scale, complexity, and lethality; 
Whereas Israel has consistently demonstrated resilience and 
innovation in confronting these challenges, developing 
cutting-edge defense technologies that enhance the secu-
rity of both nations; 
Whereas the longstanding military and intelligence coopera-
tion between the United States and Israel, including joint 
training exercises and the codevelopment of advanced de-
fense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and the 
Arrow missile defense system, has proven essential in 
protecting innocent lives and maintaining regional sta-
bility; 
Whereas the collaboration between the United States and 
Israel at the Irregular Warfare Support Directorate, in-
cluding advancements in anti-tunneling technology and 
counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C–UAS), has en-
hanced both nations’ ability to detect and neutralize 
asymmetric threats, strengthening regional and global se-
curity; 
Whereas strengthening the United States-Israel defense part-
nership will ensure that both nations remain at the fore-
front of military technology and national security pre-
paredness; and 
Whereas leveraging the unique capabilities of the defense in-
dustries of both the United States and Israel will bolster 
our shared ability to counter emerging threats effectively: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
