i saw him talking about this a month or two ago in relation to the US trying to basically wrap the IOF and US Military into one thing
This is correct. It’s called Section 224 of NDAA 2027.
On June 1, 2026, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a letter to representative Marlin Stutzman thanking Stutzman for endorsing “my plan” for a “new framework of joint defense cooperation, codevelopment, coproduction and mutual investment in areas including advanced missile defense, artificial intelligence unmanned systems, cybersecurity and next generation military platforms.”[29] Responsible Statecraft described Netanyahu’s letter as an endorsement of Section 224 of the NDAA 2027, writing that the Section “essentially transforms Israel from a top U.S. aid recipient to a full member of the U.S. defense and intelligence apparatus.”[30]
In the article of the OP, Netanyahu compares US funding Israel to “welfare”. Welfare is funding with means testing attached. Netanyahu is not turning down the money; he’s turning down the means testing. Netanyahu says that Israel has a large economy; this is meant to imply that Israel should not be subordinate. Netanyahu wants to stop conditioned funding to Israel because he wants unconditional funding to Israel.
Netanyahu goes on to say that he wants the Zionist entity to continue its military occupation of 20% of Lebanon, which violates the US-Iran MoU of the US-Israel war against Iran. Netanyahu also says he wants Zionist settlements in Gaza and to block the existence of a Palestinian state.

Really solid analysis here! A major shift in intention over the last 10 years or so is that Israel has been shedding its status as a vassal state by becoming fully integrated into the US. The intent is that Israel will be independent from the US in name only. The IDF will no longer be supplied or aided by the US Military, it will just be the US military. The Israeli economy will be as critical to and inseparable from the US as California’s is.
