Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t mince words.
Hours after every Republican senator voted to advance the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, she called it out on X: “Every Republican Senator voted to merge our military with Israel’s military. The most America LAST thing they could possibly do, selling our military out to a foreign country. It’s absolute treason and betrayal.”

Her outrage had a concrete target. Section 219 of the NDAA would create an unprecedented Pentagon-Israel defense-industrial partnership — directing a dedicated executive agent to accelerate joint development across missile defense, AI, and cyber, backed by $750 million in funding.
Senate Democrats had already tried to kill the bill for a different reason — blocking it 50-46 to protest Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran, which resumed July 7 after a month-long ceasefire collapsed.
The bill is now caught between two fires: Democrats over Iran, and Greene over Israel.
