Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to check for terrorist threats in countries that are major allies but not part of NATO. These countries include nations like Israel, Japan, and Egypt.
The government must identify which terrorist groups are active in these allied countries and what they are doing. This includes looking at how these groups use new technology like artificial intelligence to plan attacks.
Officials will also look at how well these allied governments are working to stop terrorists. They will check if these countries are cooperating with U.S. intelligence agencies to keep people safe.
The report will evaluate if the U.S. has the right tools to stop members of these groups from entering the country. It will also list any extra money or equipment needed to better monitor these threats.
