Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Pushes to Slash $500 Million in Aid to Nuclear-Armed Israel From NDAA
Share this @internewscast.com

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is set to introduce an amendment stripping $500 million in military aid for nuclear-armed Israel from the 2026 NDAA, finally calling out Israel’s undeclared nukes in Congress.

Why it matters: This uncommon acknowledgment by Congress of Israel’s nuclear capabilities disrupts long-standing U.S. ambiguity, potentially conserving millions for American taxpayers and sparking questions about funding the defense of a nuclear state while our own domestic issues persist.

Driving the news: Greene revealed her initiative on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, emphasizing that Israel already receives $3.8 billion in annual U.S. aid and suggesting it doesn’t require additional support from the Pentagon, according to Antiwar.com.

  • She stressed: “Nuclear-armed Israel doesn’t need $500 million more from the American people.”
  • Greene also targets aid to Taiwan and Jordan, aiming to cut unnecessary foreign spending.
  • The move comes as the U.S. has poured billions extra into Israel since October 7, 2023, funding 70% of its war costs, according to Israeli media.

Catch up quick: A 2016 accord under the Obama administration pledges $38 billion to Israel over a decade, inclusive of $5 billion for missile defense—translating to $500 million each year via the Pentagon, as detailed in the memorandum of understanding. Israel, with an estimated arsenal of 90-300 nuclear warheads, refrains from signing the NPT, while U.S. policies overlook this to maintain aid. Following October 7, U.S. emergency funding surged, offsetting most of Israel’s military expenses.

The intrigue: Greene’s blunt “nuclear-armed Israel” phrasing breaks the taboo in Congress, where lawmakers rarely acknowledge Israel’s arsenal to dodge legal hurdles like the Symington Amendment, which bans aid to nuclear proliferators outside safeguards, detailed by the Israel Lobby.

Between the lines: By exposing this, Greene spotlights how U.S. ambiguity lets billions flow unchecked, prioritizing foreign allies over American borders and budgets—echoing America First frustrations with endless overseas commitments.

What they’re saying:

  • “I’m entering amendments to strike $500 million more for nuclear-armed Israel… They don’t need another $500 million in our defense budget. That’s for the American people’s defense,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Steve Bannon on “War Room.”
  • “Nuclear-armed Israel, I think it’s really important to phrase it that way,” Greene emphasized, underscoring the need to confront Israel’s capabilities.

The bottom line: Greene’s amendments could spark a real debate on U.S. foreign aid waste, but with bipartisan Israel support entrenched, expect fierce pushback—yet it’s a win for taxpayers tired of funding nuclear powers abroad.
