The promised initiative has not been established by enacted federal law or implemented by DOD. The FY2027 NDAA vehicles include substantially matching language: S. 4784 section 1217 would require the Secretary of Defense to establish the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, and the House-passed NDAA includes similar language. But as of the latest available action, the Senate bill had not advanced past motion-to-proceed activity after a failed cloture vote, and there is no final enactment or implementation. This is concrete same-term legislative progress, but the promised outcome remains pending rather than delivered.
