(JNS) The U.S. Senate passed the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) this week, which includes U.S.-Israel missile-defense cooperation and up to $25 million for U.S.-Israel counter-unmanned aerial-systems cooperation, as well as sanctioned President Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria, and its allies Iran and Russia.

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the $738 billion measure, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week.

The U.S. assistance authorizes cooperation with Israel on counter-tunnel and counter-aerial capabilities, and $500 million for developing and procuring the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow weapon systems.

The legislation prohibits the Pentagon from supporting groups affiliated with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
