US House looks to enhance commitment to Israel’s military edge

WASHINGTON — The US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee overwhelmingly approved a bill that would enhance the US commitment to Israel’s qualitative military edge.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) would increase presidential reports to Congress on how the executive branch is guaranteeing Israel’s QME from once every four years to once every two years and would add assistance to Israel’s cyberwarfare capabilities to the definition of QME.

The committee on Wednesday approved the bill by unanimous consent, and now it goes to the full House for consideration.

Collins noted the bipartisan support for the bill in a statement after the vote.
