(a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the United States Government has a responsibility to
undertake all reasonable measures to ensure that members of
the Armed Forces never confront a more technologically
advanced foe;
(2) the United States maintains its unwavering commitment
to the security of Israel as a Jewish state, strongly
supports the right of Israel to self-defense, and encourages
further development of advanced technology programs between
the United States and Israel to enhance common security;
(3) the United States and Israel have several cooperative
technology programs to develop and field capabilities in
missile defense, countertunneling, and counterunmanned aerial
systems; and
(4) building on positive ongoing efforts, the United States
and Israel should further institutionalize and strengthen
their defense innovation partnership by establishing a United
States-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group to identify
and expeditiously field capabilities that the military forces
of both countries need to deter and defeat respective
adversaries.
