十二名美国参议员周二敦促国会领导人，从一项妥协国防法案中删除三项条款，这三项条款将扩大与以色列的国防技术合作和情报共享。
Twelve US senators urged congressional leaders Tuesday to remove three provisions from a compromise defense bill that would expand defense technology cooperation and intelligence sharing with Israel.
“在你们准备就《2027财年国防授权法案》（NDAA）进行协调时，我们恳请你们从最终法案中排除三项条款，这些条款将进一步巩固美以国防和情报关系中令人担忧的方面，而以色列政府的行动正日益损害美国的利益和价值观，”立法者们在一封联名信中写道。
"As you prepare to conference the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), we respectfully urge you to exclude three provisions from the final bill that would further entrench concerning aspects of the U.S.-Israel defense and intelligence relationship at a time when the Israeli government's actions are increasingly undermining U.S. interests and values," the lawmakers wrote in a joint letter.
参议员们包括克里斯·范·霍伦、伯尼·桑德斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦，他们争辩说，有争议的条款将“限制政府独立确定如何最好地保护美国国家安全的能力”，并将把华盛顿锁定在无限期承诺中，尽管人们对以色列军队在加沙地带、被占领的西岸地区以及更广泛地区的军事行动表示担忧。
The senators, including Chris Van Hollen, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, argued that the disputed clauses would "constrain the Administration's ability to independently determine how best to protect U.S. national security" and lock Washington into indefinite commitments despite concerns regarding Israeli military operations in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and the wider region.
这封信特别针对参议院军事委员会法案中的第1217条和众议院通过的法案中的第219条，这两项条款规定建立“美以国防技术合作倡议”。该计划将加速双方在人工智能、量子计算、网络战、生物技术和自主系统领域的共同生产、技术转让和联合研究。
The letter particularly targets Section 1217 of the Senate Armed Services Committee bill and Section 219 of the House-passed measure, which mandate establishing a "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative." The program would accelerate bilateral co-production, technology transfers and joint research across artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cyberwarfare, biotechnology and autonomous systems.
立法者警告说，华盛顿甚至不会与北约成员等条约盟友在这些敏感的作战领域常规共享或共同生产技术。他们强调，特朗普总统根据现有法律已经拥有权力，无需国会授权即可谈判双边协议。
Lawmakers warned that Washington does not routinely share or co-produce technologies in these sensitive warfare domains, even with treaty allies such as NATO members. They emphasized that President Donald Trump already possesses authority under existing statutes to negotiate bilateral accords without a congressional mandate.
参议员们强调，深度整合将使以色列对美国军事资产拥有影响力。他们指出，以色列政府此前利用导弹防御领域的合作生产条款，阻止了美国向乌克兰转移铁穹系统，并警告称，该计划将把以色列技术嵌入美国国防工业基础，使未来的政策转变代价高昂。
The senators stressed that deep integration would hand Israel leverage over American military assets. They pointed to the Israeli government's prior use of co-production terms on missile defense to block the transfer of American Iron Dome batteries to Ukraine, warning that the initiative would embed Israeli technology into the American defense industrial base and make future policy shifts costly.
信中还提到，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡公开声称，该框架将防务关系从“援助”转向“伙伴关系”，对此他功不可没。参议员们警告称，这一策略试图用不透明的国防采购取代透明的对外军事融资渠道，尤其是在内塔尼亚胡自夸数十年来一直寻求与伊朗对抗之后。立法者将这场战争描述为对美国利益的“战略灾难”。
The letter also noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly claimed credit for the framework to shift defense ties "from aid to partnership." The senators cautioned that this strategy seeks to replace transparent Foreign Military Financing channels with opaque defense acquisitions, particularly after Netanyahu boasted about seeking a confrontation with Iran for decades, a war that lawmakers characterized as a "strategic disaster" for American interests.
该联盟还要求从情报授权篇目中排除第618条。该条款规定扩大与以色列的情报共享，并禁止行政部门暂停、削减或实质性限制该合作。
The coalition also demanded the exclusion of Section 618 from the intelligence authorization title, which mandates expanding intelligence sharing with Israel while prohibiting the executive branch from suspending, reducing or materially limiting that cooperation.
立法者们认为，限制总统调整情报共享的能力将是“不负责任”的，尤其是在公开披露显示，国防情报局最近将来自以色列的反情报威胁上调至“最高级别”之后。
Tying the president's hands from adjusting intelligence sharing would be "irresponsible," the lawmakers argued, particularly after public disclosures revealed that the Defense Intelligence Agency recently elevated the counterintelligence threat from Israel to its "highest level."
