• The claim conflates two separate pieces of legislation. The NDAA FY2027 Section 224 is titled the “United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” and directs the Pentagon to expand bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, and industrial cooperation; it explicitly requires protecting sensitive technology and information in a manner that safeguards the national security interests of both countries¹.
• The provision critics describe as expanding intelligence sharing is actually Section 622 of the FY2027 Intelligence Authorization Act, not the NDAA²³.
• Even that intelligence provision does not grant Israel access to “all classified intelligence held by the U.S. Pentagon”; it is an intelligence-sharing enhancement, not a blanket waiver of all classified material³.
• News reports and legislative trackers clearly distinguish the NDAA’s defense-tech integration from the separate intelligence-sharing bill, noting that the NDAA provision is about co-development and procurement of military technology, not handing over the Pentagon’s classified intelligence archives⁴⁵⁶.
