Revealed: AIEF, a charitable affiliate of pro-Israel lobby Aipac, has spent millions on travel for lawmakers from both parties, even as voters’ support for Israel plummets Dozens of members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers have enjoyed lavish gifted travel to Israel funded by an Aipac affiliate since 7 October 2023, amid Israel’s expanding wars on its neighbors and despite plummeting levels of support among Americans for the country’s policies, a Guardian analysis has found. Congressional ethics filings and other public records show the trips, led by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), revolved around one-sided briefings on Middle East politics and Israeli domestic and foreign policy. Lawmakers and their staffers from both parties met Israeli officials, military contractors and civil society figures, including Benjamin Netanyahu and advocates for the annexation of the West Bank and the displacement of Palestinians from Jerusalem.

WASHINGTON: A provision tucked into the US House of Representatives’ version of the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2027 could significantly deepen military cooperation between the United States and Israel, potentially creating Washington’s closest defence partnership with any foreign country. The NDAA is the annual legislation through which Congress authorises defence spending and sets policy priorities for the Pentagon. Before becoming law, the bill must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then signed by the president. At the centre of the current debate is Section 224, titled the “United States–Israel Defence Technology Cooperation Initiative,” which requires the US Secretary of Defence to “designate an executive agent responsible for synchronising cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defence technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.” It outlines expanded collaboration in areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, autonomous systems, quantum technologies, and advanced weapons development. The provision also refers to potential “network integration” and “data fusion,” raising concerns among some analysts about the extent of operational interoperability between the two countries’ defence establishments. Critics of closer cooperation argue that the proposed framework goes significantly further than existing arrangements — shifting cooperation from traditional aid mechanisms toward integrated research and co-production. They warn that the proposed changes in procurement structures could reduce public transparency and congressional oversight. Under the current aid model, military assistance is typically approved through visible annual budgetary processes, whereas industrial and procurement partnerships operate through more complex contracting channels within the defence establishment. These concerns come amid broader and evolving debates within US politics over the scale and nature of American support for Israel. While bipartisan backing for the US–Israel security relationship has historically been strong, recent years have seen more public questioning from lawmakers across the political spectrum regarding alignment between US foreign policy interests and Israeli military actions. For example, Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, has argued publicly that unconditional support for Israeli governments may conflict with broader US strategic and humanitarian interests. “The Democratic Party has provided reflexive and unconditional support to Israeli governments, even as their actions have increasingly undermined American interests and values,” he wrote in The New York Times on Tuesday. On the Republican side, Representative Thomas Massie and former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene have both criticised the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups — positions that some analysts and commentators suggest may have affected their standing within the party. “Why is America having to give Israel $3.8 billion?” Greene asked, noting: “We’re $37 trillion in debt; Israel is less than $400 billion in debt.” Whether Section 224 survives in its current form remains uncertain. Defence authorisation bills in Congress often undergo significant revision during negotiations between the House and Senate, and controversial or far-reaching provisions are frequently modified, narrowed, or removed before final passage.

THE Abraham Accords were presented as a historic peace initiative in the Middle East. In reality, they were agreements brokered during US President Donald Trump’s first presidency under which several Arab states normalised ties with Israel without resolving the Palestinian issue. Mr Trump now appears keen to expand the Accords again, pushing more Muslim countries to join after the recent Iran conflict. It is a dangerous and deeply dishonest move, driven less by regional peace than by pressure from Israel’s supporters in Washington and America’s hard-line pro-Israel right. The attempt to connect the Iran conflict with the Abraham Accords makes little sense. The tensions involving Iran are rooted in long-running regional rivalries and military escalation. They do not suddenly erase the central issue that has shaped Middle Eastern politics for decades, which is the denial of Palestinian rights and the absence of a Palestinian state. Yet this latest push appears designed to do exactly that — use regional instability to revive a process that asks Muslim countries to normalise relations with Israel while Palestinians continue to live under occupation. That is why many Muslim-majority countries remain unconvinced by the Accords. Pakistan’s position has been consistent for years: there can be no recognition of Israel until there is a fair settlement for Palestinians and clarity on the creation of an independent Palestinian state. This must not be mistaken for an extreme position. It is a practical recognition that lasting peace cannot be built by ignoring the grievances of millions of Palestinians. Israel, meanwhile, has shown little willingness to move towards a genuine settlement. Illegal settlements continue to expand in occupied territory. Gaza has been devastated by war, bombardment and humanitarian collapse. Violence in the West Bank continues. In such circumstances, expecting Muslim countries to deepen ties with Israel without demanding any accountability or political solution is unjustified. Mr Trump’s renewed interest in expanding the Accords reflects the influence of the Israeli lobby and the American ultra-right, both of which have long pushed Washington to protect Israel from international pressure. For these groups, the goal has never really been peace. It has been to strengthen Israel’s regional standing while pushing the Palestinian issue further into the background. Washington also risks misreading public opinion across the Muslim world. Governments may engage in diplomacy for strategic reasons, but ordinary people continue to view the Palestinian cause as central to justice in the Middle East. Ignoring that sentiment may secure temporary political wins, but it cannot create durable legitimacy for such agreements. The issue cannot be brushed aside through diplomatic ceremonies and political deals. Any arrangement that ignores Palestinian statehood may produce headlines and handshakes, but it will not bring genuine stability to the Middle East. Published in Dawn, May 27th, 2026
IS there finally a deal to end the Iran war? Not even close. As the world awaited Washington’s approval of a framework that Tehran reportedly agreed upon to de-escalate tensions, US President Donald Trump cautioned negotiators “not to rush into a deal” with Iran — a deal that could potentially lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a comprehensive peace plan. Hours after Iranian negotiators arrived in Qatar for discussions aimed at ending the war, American forces struck Iran’s southern port of Bandar Abbas, claiming they were acting in self-defence. This latest escalation by the US has coincided with intensified attacks by Israel on Lebanon. The close link between these two conflicts complicates negotiators’ efforts to reach a peace deal. It appears that Trump is acting under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some of his closest Republican allies in the Senate and beyond. Meanwhile, Trump posted a provocative image on his Truth Social platform, showing a map of the Middle East with Iran overlaid by the American flag and the phrase “United States of the Middle East?” He has further demanded that Arab and other Muslim nations join the Abraham Accords. This raises questions about whether the world, particularly Iran, can trust him, given his unpredictable behaviour. Trump’s ever-shifting stance has clouded the prospects of a peace deal in the near future. Pakistan’s mediation efforts, supported by regional countries, seemed to have brought Tehran and Washington closer to a peace deal that could have led to extensive negotiations between the two sides. According to reports, the proposed 14-point MoU, following weeks of intensive diplomatic talks, envisions an extension of the ceasefire, the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic and the removal of the US blockade of Iranian ports. Trump’s ever-shifting stance has clouded the prospects of a peace deal in the near future. That was to be followed by negotiations on other issues, including the relocation of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium and a commitment from Tehran to allow the IAEA to monitor all aspects of the country’s remaining nuclear infrastructure. It calls for the unfreezing of Iranian foreign assets and the removal of all sanctions imposed on Iran, along with the termination of the UN mechanism that permits sanctions to be reimposed. Trump’s initial response was positive, and it appeared that an agreement could be reached last weekend. However, his reportedly unpleasant telephone call with the Israeli PM effectively stalled the potential agreement. Netanyahu has been opposed to ending the war, asserting that the objective has not yet been achieved. Unsurprisingly, some of the most conservative Republican senators, who have supported Trump’s stance on Iran, including prominent pro-Israel politicians Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, expressed strong reservations about proposing peace negotiations with Iran. Senator Graham, a close ally of Trump and a supporter of Israel, had warned on social media that reaching a peace deal now would reinforce the perception of Iran as the dominant force “requiring a diplomatic solution”, which he labelled “a nightmare for Israel”. He questioned “why the war was started” if these perceptions were correct. On Saturday, Trump spoke on the phone with several leaders representing the Arab and other Muslim countries, urging them to join the Abraham Accords that are aimed at normalising ties between Arab/Muslim states and Israel. He later posted on social media that “it should be mandatory that all of these countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords”. His list included Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, among others. On Sunday, a day before Trump’s post went up, Senator Graham stated on social media, “If, in fact, as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agree to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East.” Nothing could be more preposterous than negotiating a peace deal with Iran that involves Muslim countries recognising Israel’s hegemony at a time when the Zionist state is carrying out a genocidal war in Gaza and has committed, together with the US, war crimes in Iran. The Abraham Accords were initiated by Trump during his first term in office. The intent was to create a grand alliance between Israel and Arab Muslim countries, effectively legitimising the expansionist aims of the Zionist state. In 2020, the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan signed the Accords. However, most other Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, refused to do so until a separate Palestinian state could be established. Trump’s recent statements are unlikely to be well received by his allies in the Middle East, many of whom have been directly affected by US-Israel actions against Iran. His decision to link the Iran peace deal with the signing of the Accords has raised doubts about his intentions. It appears that Trump is now trapped in a situation of his own making by engaging in a conflict with a country that posed no direct threat to the US — all under pressure from Israel. As one of the most unpopular presidents in recent US history, he faces criticism from both sides of the political spectrum — his pro-war conservative allies and rival Democrats — who are questioning the rationale behind entering the war without an exit plan. This war has not only led to the worst energy crisis in recent history, raising the spectre of a global economic recession, but has also impacted the American public through rising inflation. The latest US escalation has perhaps effectively ended the month-long fragile ceasefire and raised the possibility of a wider conflict, making the prospect of a peace deal increasingly elusive. Trump is once again mistaken in believing that escalating strikes will compel Iran to capitulate and yield what he terms a ‘Great Deal’. He is becoming further entangled in a no-win war, and American hubris may plunge the world deeper into chaos. It is now becoming increasingly difficult for the US to extricate itself from its disastrous military adventure. The world is less safe now with a rogue leader at the helm of the greatest power on earth.
