The purpose of this Act is to enhance counterter-
rorism and maritime security cooperation and training 
within the ‘‘3+1’’ structure between the United States, 
Israel, Greece, and the Republic of Cyprus. 
SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Israel has been designated as a Major Non- 
NATO Ally under U.S. law since 1987 and its part-
nership with the U.S. is critical to the protection of 
U.S. interests in the Eastern Mediterranean and the 
surrounding regions. 
(2) The Department of State describes Israel as 
‘‘a great partner to the United States’’ with an ‘‘un-
breakable bond’’ that ‘‘has never been stronger.’’ 
(3) The longstanding strength of the relation-
ship between the U.S. and Israel is demonstrated by 
the historic significance of the United States being 
the first country to officially recognize Israel as a 
state in 1948 and being the first country to recog-
nize Jerusalem as its capital in 2017. 
(4) The United States remains in solidarity 
with Israel following the October 7, 2023, terrorist 
attack committed by Hamas, described by the De-

in its 75-year history’’ which included the deaths of

more than forty-four Americans, the most killed in 
a terrorist attack since the events of September 11, 
2001, and the capture of twelve other Americans as 
hostages. 
(5) The Department of State holds that ‘‘sup-
port for Israel’s security has been a cornerstone of 
American foreign policy,’’ as demonstrated by the 
longstanding support provided to Israel by the U.S. 
(6) The United States and Israel have defense 
cooperation agreements including a Mutual Defense 
Assistance Agreement (1952); a General Security of 
Information Agreement (1982); a Mutual Logistics 
Support Agreement (1991); and a Status of Forces 
Agreement (1994). 
(7) The United States has participated in mili-
tary exercises with Israel, including Juniper Oak 
and Juniper Falcon. 
(8) The United States and Israel have engaged 
in strategic dialogue involving counterterrorism co-
ordination. 
(9) Greece is a North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion (NATO) Ally that consistently exceeds its obli-
gation of spending 2% of its gross domestic product 
(GDP) on defense annually. In 2021, Greece spent 
a higher percentage of its real GDP on defense than
