United States-Israel Common Defense Authorization Act

This bill would authorize the president to undertake a series of measures to “ensure Israel is prepared for all contingencies if Iran seeks to develop a nuclear weapon after the expiration of provisions in the [7/14/15 nuclear deal],” and including the construction of “large ordnance systems,” such as extended runways and bases for aircraft and munition storage facilities. The president would have to report to Congress the results of a joint U.S.-Israeli study on Israel’s military requirements for a confrontation with Iran before implementing any of the abovementioned measures.
