The Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act (H.R.3307)

Following the success of the CUFI-backed Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019, the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act takes a further step towards regional integration with some of the world’s most dynamic economies. This bill reinforces U.S. support for the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) and regional initiatives including the 3+1 dialogue with Greece, Israel, and Cyprus and the East Mediterranean Gas Forum. By elevating the Eastern Mediterranean in U.S. foreign policy and institutionalizing strategic dialogues with IMEC and regional partners such as Israel, a new era economic and strategic cooperation is possible. The legislation would also mandate studying the expansion of U.S.–Israel innovation programs to the broader region.

 

The Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 (H.R. 1422/S. 556)

Ensuring that Iran does not have the funds to restart their nuclear program or rebuild their military infrastructure will be critical to ensuring that Israel’s military gains from Operation Rising Lion help safeguard the region for years to come. When it becomes law, this bill will strengthen and tighten existing sanctions on the Islamic Republic while also targeting Iran’s oil industry – which is the primary source of revenue for the regime. 

 

THE DETERRENT ACT  |  H.R. 1048 / S. 1296

America’s adversaries have long taken advantage of the open borders at our higher education institutions. Virtually anyone, with enough cash, could “invest’ as they see fit. This legislation requires institutions to report gifts from countries or entities of concern at any dollar amount, lowers the general foreign-gift/contract reporting threshold to $50,000, restricts contracts with countries or entities of concern absent a waiver, and creates public databases for institutional and individual disclosures as covered by the legislation.

 

U.S.–ISRAEL FUTURES ACT  |  H.R. 7540 / S. 3855

The US-Israel alliance endures because of its foundation of shared values and its forward-looking approach to world affairs. This legislation establishes the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative and authorizes $150 million per year for FY2027-FY2029 across domains including counter-UAS, missile and air defense, AI, directed energy, cyber, biotechnology, and other defense-industrial cooperation.
