The claim asserts that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. This frames a broad, ongoing bilateral program rather than a completed project with a fixed end date.
Evidence of progress includes a January 16, 2026 joint statement from the
U.S. and Israel launching a strategic partnership on AI research and critical technologies, explicitly renewing focus on joint R&D, investment, and cooperation in AI, energy technologies, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors (State Department release; official Israel government page).
Prior to that, in 2025, the U.S. and Israel advanced practical cooperation through a Memorandum of Understanding between U.S. agencies (e.g., Department of Energy) and
Israeli partners to unleash AI innovation and collaborate on energy and AI initiatives, signaling tangible implementation steps and joint projects (Energy Department, 2025/July sources).
Taken together, these items indicate ongoing implementation and expansion of bilateral R&D and investment activities across the listed sectors, with no announced completion date and no withdrawal of the stated intent. Given the nature of such partnerships, progress is best understood as iterative and milestone-driven rather than finalizable in a single event. Source reliability is high for official U.S. and Israeli government statements and corroborating agency announcements (State Department, Energy Department, Israel.gov).
Notes on incentives: the collaboration aligns strategic technology leadership with national security and competitiveness goals for both countries, which supports continuing commitment beyond individual administrations. The absence of a fixed completion date suggests a long-term, evolving program rather than a one-off agreement.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Public documentation confirms a January 16, 2026 joint statement launching a Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, Research, and Critical Technologies, which explicitly commits to deepening collaboration in those fields and related areas such as research security and technology protection (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). The statement also outlines governance through a Joint Economic Development Group and positions the partnership within the Pax Silica framework, but it notes that the document expresses intent rather than legally binding obligations (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026).
In terms of progress, there is no public record of concrete milestones or completed projects as of February 13, 2026 beyond the initial launch and the stated governance structure. The release emphasizes ongoing cooperation and potential joint initiatives, training programs, and platforms for basic and applied research, yet it does not provide specific timelines, funding commitments, or implemented programs (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026).
Evidence that the promise has moved from intent to ongoing activity is therefore limited at this point. The primary source is an official, high-level statement; subsequent press briefings or partner announcements with measurable milestones (e.g., joint funding rounds, signed implementation plans, or signed memoranda of understanding) are not widely publicized by mid-February 2026 (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026; corroborating coverage from reflected outlets). The reliability of the claim rests on a formal, publicly verifiable acceleration of joint R&D or investments, which has not yet been documented publicly.
Overall, the current status appears to be: in_progress. The launch establishes a strategic intent and governance mechanism, but concrete progress or completion of the stated joint activities has not been publicly demonstrated by mid-February 2026 (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). The official source is credible and explicit about intent, but the absence of documented milestones or funding details limits confirmation of tangible progress at this juncture.
Notes on source reliability: the core information derives from the U.S. Department of State’s official joint statement, which is a primary source for this policy collaboration. Reporting from additional reputable outlets corroborates the collaboration’s launching, but those outlets primarily summarize the official statement rather than provide independent milestones; thus, reliance on the State Department release remains the strongest basis for assessing status (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026; corroboration in major outlets Jan–Feb 2026).

The claim asserts that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. It frames a broad, ongoing collaboration rather than a single completed project. The emphasis is on deepening a strategic partnership in multiple technology sectors.
Evidence of progress: On January 16, 2026, the U.S. Department of State and
Israeli partners issued a joint statement affirming the intention to continue deep, durable cooperation through joint research, development, and investment across AI, energy technologies, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Multiple public versions of the statement appeared (State Department, Israeli government channels, and news aggregation) confirming the policy direction. No specific program milestones or funding totals were publicly announced in the text of the statement.
Current status and milestones: The announcement indicates an ongoing, multi-sector partnership but does not provide a completion date or a defined set of deliverables with deadlines. Without published milestones or a timetable, the best characterization is that progress is ongoing and subject to subsequent implementation plans and funding rounds. Independent verification beyond the joint statement would be needed to confirm concrete projects, partners, or measures completed to date.
Reliability and incentives: Sources include official
U.S. and Israeli government communications, which are primary inputs for understanding policy intentions. Given incentives for bilateral cooperation in technology and security—alongside protections for sensitive technologies—the statements likely reflect both strategic collaboration goals and risk-managed collaboration.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Evidence from the January 16, 2026 State Department release confirms a renewed strategic framework for cooperation in these critical technologies, described as a durable partnership under the Pax Silica framework. The statement emphasizes continued joint research, development, and investment across AI, energy technologies, space, semiconductors, and related fields, with a governance mechanism to guide implementation.
Progress to date includes Israel joining the Pax Silica initiative, announced mid-December 2025. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes that Pax Silica aims to secure supply chains, establish joint ventures, and protect sensitive technologies, signaling a formal alignment with the
U.S. framework proclaimed in January 2026. This move demonstrates alignment on high-level objectives and a readiness to operationalize collaboration in the listed sectors.
The January 2026 State Department release also outlines key areas of cooperation (AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors) and references a Joint Economic Development Group as the primary governance body for implementation. While the document states that cooperation is non-binding and subject to domestic law, it frames ongoing activities, programs, and partnerships as the mechanism for progress. No finalized funding package or concrete project milestones are publicly cited in the release.
In practice, the combination of the formal strategic statement and Israel’s Pax
Silica participation indicates a clear intent to advance joint R&D, investment, and commercialization across the listed sectors. Reported developments to date point to coordination on supply chains, security/protection of sensitive tech, and potential joint ventures, though granular project-by-project milestones and timelines remain sparse in publicly available sources.
Source reliability: the primary claims come from the U.S. State Department and the
Israeli MFA, both official government sources; the State release provides the explicit policy framework, while the Israeli MFA announcement confirms Israel’s alignment with Pax Silica. These releases collectively support a trajectory of ongoing cooperation, with formalization progressing but with limited disclosure of specific programs or funding. Follow-up reporting should track the Joint Economic Development Group's activities and any announced joint programs or investments.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Officially, a joint statement announced on January 16, 2026, outlines a durable strategic partnership for research and development in these exact sectors, with emphasis on secure, trusted collaboration (State Department, 2026-01-16). The initial milestone cited was the signing of a joint statement in
Jerusalem, signaling the formalization of cooperation across AI, energy technologies, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors, among other critical technologies (
Israeli government statement, 2026-01-20; Jerusalem Post coverage, 2026-01-16/18).
As of February 7, 2026, there is publicly available evidence that the partnership has begun to take shape through this high-level framework and public commitments, but concrete, on-the-ground projects or fully funded joint programs have not yet been detailed or publicly announced. Multiple outlets confirm the bilateral intent and the signaling of a broad framework, including a US State Department release and subsequent Israeli government notes and press coverage (State Department, 2026-01-16;
Gov.il, 2026-01-20).
Reliability notes: the primary sources are official government communications from the United States and Israel, which are appropriate for establishing the existence of the commitment. Secondary media outlets corroborate the signing event and the broad scope of sectors involved, though they offer limited access to specifics about funded programs or milestones (Jerusalem Post, 2026-01; Times of Israel coverage, 2026-01).
Given the stated completion condition—ongoing implementation of joint research, development, and investment activities across the listed sectors—the status as of early February 2026 aligns with an early-but-promising phase of a multi-year bilateral program rather than a completed set of projects. The available record points to a formal framework and initial symbolism of cooperation, with detailed progress to be reported in subsequent months (State Department, 2026-01-16; Gov.il, 2026-01-20).

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. It asserts an ongoing collaboration framework without a defined completion date. This is framed as a continuing strategic partnership rather than a one-off project with a fixed endpoint.
Evidence of progress appears in the January 16, 2026 joint statement from the U.S. Department of State announcing a Strategic Framework for Cooperation with Israel. The document explicitly commits to continued joint research, development, and investment across AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors, and to enhance research security and trustworthy environments (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). Additional government communications echoed similar language, underscoring an intent-based framework rather than a completed program.
There are no publicly announced, enforceable milestones or completion dates as of early February 2026. Media coverage and official releases emphasize ongoing collaboration, the establishment of governance (e.g., the Joint Economic Development Group) to steer implementation, and the expansion of existing chip, AI, and energy-security initiatives, but stop short of reporting completed projects or timelines. The nature of the statement suggests an ongoing process with future initiatives to be announced.
Reliability notes: the principal source is an official State Department release documenting the stated intent, which is appropriate for tracking diplomatic commitments. Coverage from reputable outlets corroborates the general aims and the January 2026 signing context, though these secondary reports reflect the same stated intent rather than independent verification of milestones. Overall, current reporting supports that the arrangement is in progress with no finalized completion date.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across artificial intelligence, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Officially, on January 16, 2026, the two governments announced a Strategic Framework for Cooperation and launched the Pax Silica framework to deepen collaboration across these technology sectors, signaling a formalizing step toward ongoing joint activity (State Department, Jan 16, 2026;
Jerusalem/Israel government coverage).
Evidence of progress includes the signing ceremony and accompanying remarks that frame
AI, semiconductors, space, robotics, materials science, and new energy as core pillars, plus the creation of governance structures like the Pax Silica framework to guide implementation (State Department, Jan 16, 2026; State Department remarks, Pax Silica release). The framework text emphasizes protection of sensitive research technologies and the goal of moving from intent to production, with a governance mechanism (Joint Economic Development Group) described as steering implementation. These elements indicate ongoing, multi-domain collaboration rather than a completed program.
As of 2026-02-07, there is limited public evidence of specific, measurable milestones (e.g., funded joint projects, joint laboratories, or signed memoranda of understanding across all listed sectors) beyond the framework declaration and high-level commitments. Multiple outlets and official summaries reiterate intent and structure, but concrete project-by-project progress updates have not been widely reported in independent venues. The completion condition—ongoing implementation across all listed sectors—remains plausible but not independently verifiable in full detail yet.
Notable dates and milestones include the January 16, 2026 signing and the subsequent State Department framing of Pax Silica as a durable, secure ecosystem for AI, semiconductors, space, energy technologies, and related fields. The reliability of sources centers on official government statements (State Department releases and associated remarks) and corroborating government or embassy postings; independent coverage corroborates the broad scope but often lacks granular project-level data, which is typical for early-stage strategic partnerships. Given the incentives of both governments to emphasize security, resilience of supply chains, and leadership in critical technologies, the framing of progress appears credible but should be monitored for specific, verifiable milestones over time.

This marks the transition from intent to an implemented bilateral framework, at least in its initial phase.
Additional context from the State Department statement describes a governance mechanism—specifically the Joint Economic Development Group—to steer implementation, and clarifies that the text expresses intent rather than legally binding obligations. The accompanying Pax Silica materials frame supply-chain resilience and strategic technology leadership as core incentives for both sides (State Dept, 2026-01-16).
Progress to date appears to be ongoing rather than complete: the agreement inaugurates a long-term partnership with planned joint R&D, investment, and commercialization in multiple sectors, but there is no published completion date or fixed milestones indicating closure. Independent reporting highlights immediate steps like the establishment of joint AI and critical-technology cooperation, with continued expansion anticipated under Pax Silica (JPost, 2026-01-16 to 2026-01-17).
Source reliability varies but is generally strong for this topic: the primary document is the U.S. State Department release, which provides the official articulation and governance terms; The Jerusalem Post offers contemporaneous verification with details on the signing and the Pax Silica context. Taken together, they support a status of ongoing implementation rather than a concluded program (State Dept, JPost).
In summary, the claim is best characterized as in_progress: the strategic partnership has been publicly launched with initial cooperative commitments and governance mechanisms, but ongoing actions and milestones are expected to unfold over time rather than having a defined completion date.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Public official statements frame this as the launch of a strategic framework intended to deepen bilateral cooperation in these technology sectors. As of early February 2026, there is no published evidence of a finalized, fully implemented set of programs; rather, the partnership appears to be in the early-implementation phase following the January 2026 announcement. The status rests on intent and initial coordination rather than completion of specific funding or project milestones reported to date.
Progress evidence includes the January 16, 2026 Joint Statement from the
U.S. and Israel announcing a Strategic Framework for Cooperation in AI and critical technologies, with explicit sectors named and an emphasis on secure collaboration. The State Department text highlights areas such as AI, energy technologies, advanced computing, space, and semiconductors, and references governance structures (e.g., a steering group) without detailing funded programs or outputs. Additionally, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated Israel joined broader Pax Silica initiatives around December 2025, signaling alignment with a broader joint-technology security initiative. These items establish intent and alignment but do not confirm completed joint projects.
Evidence of completion or full operationalization is not yet evident. No public disclosure of finalized joint programs, milestones, or funding disbursements has been published in trustworthy outlets by February 2026. The available official materials frame ongoing cooperation and governance but stop short of announcing tangible deliverables, metrics, or a defined completion date. Given the recency, the lack of concrete milestones at this stage is consistent with an early-phase implementation.
Key dates and milestones include: January 16, 2026, the U.S. State Department released the joint AI and critical technologies statement; December 13, 2025, Israel publicly joined Pax Silica, signaling alignment with a broader joint-technology security initiative. These dates signal a formalization and expansion of bilateral tech cooperation, but do not document specific projects, timelines, or outcomes. The reliability of these sources is high when drawing on official government statements (state.gov, gov.il) complemented by credible reporting; however, ongoing programmatic details remain undisclosed.
Overall, the claim is best characterized as in_progress: the strategic partnership has been launched and is being implemented in a framework that promises continued joint R&D and investment across multiple tech sectors, but concrete, publicly verifiable completion milestones have not yet been published. The incentives for both governments to maintain secure, cooperative tech leadership support ongoing engagement, with anticipated further announcements as programs mature. Follow-up on substantive programmatic milestones and funding allocations should be monitored in official releases and reputable outlets.
Notes on source reliability: the primary evidence comes from official U.S. and
Israeli government communications (State Department, Israeli MFA). These sources are appropriate for tracking formal declarations and governance structures, though they typically do not provide granular project-level details until programs are underway.

What the claim says:
The United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors, as part of a broad strategic partnership. Evidence: A January 16, 2026 joint statement outside
Jerusalem formalized a strategic framework for cooperation in AI and critical technologies as part of the Pax Silica initiative, with signatories from
U.S. and
Israeli officials and participation by industry partners (Jerusalem Post; Times of Israel; JPost coverage). The statement explicitly commits to ongoing R&D, investment, and commercialization across the listed sectors and a secure, trusted research environment. Current progress: Public reporting indicates the partnership was launched and is moving toward implementation, with references to expanding Pax
Silica commitments and broader alliance participation, signaling ongoing activity rather than a concluded program. No firm completion milestones or fixed endpoint are publicly announced.
Reliability and caveats: The core sources are official U.S. State Department communications echoed by multiple reputable outlets (e.g., JPost, Times of Israel). Coverage notes an initial signing and push toward practical collaboration, but granular project details and timelines remain limited. Some government pages were intermittently inaccessible, and reporting largely paraphrases official commitments, which may affect specific milestones but not the overarching intent of ongoing cooperation.
Incentives and policy context: The agreement fits U.S.-Israel aims to diversify supply chains, maintain technological leadership, and secure sensitive technologies while leveraging Israel’s tech ecosystem. Industry reporting suggests a move from principle to pilots and commercialization across AI, energy tech, and semiconductors, within the Pax Silica framework that seeks to de-risk critical supply chains. Publicly available details on funding amounts or concrete, dated milestones are not disclosed, so progress is best judged by announced signings, partnerships, and declared strategic objectives rather than fixed deliverables.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Official statements frame this as a strategic, multi-sector partnership designed to deepen collaboration and secure critical technology frontiers. The stated aim emphasizes joint research, development, and investment with a focus on both innovation and the protection of sensitive technologies. The description does not claim a finished program, but a continuing framework of cooperation.
Prior evidence of progress includes a January 16, 2026 State Department joint statement announcing the launch of a Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, Research, and Critical Technologies between the United States and Israel. The statement explicitly notes continued joint research, development, and investment in AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. It also highlights governance around secure, trusted research environments and a durable bilateral framework. This establishes the intent and broad scope but does not outline specific completion benchmarks.
Earlier progress is evidenced by a July 2025 memorandum of understanding on energy and artificial intelligence, signed by
U.S. and
Israeli officials, signaling formalized cooperation in energy technologies and AI applications. Public summaries describe the MOU as a step toward joint research, innovation, and policy coordination across the two countries. While concrete programs or funded projects are not universally itemized in public briefings, the MOU represents a concrete milestone toward the stated sectors.
Additional confirmations from Israeli government outlets and U.S. official channels reiterate ongoing collaboration, including references to Pax Silica-era cooperation and governance mechanisms. The January 2026 State Department release frames implementation as an ongoing, multi-year effort rather than a one-off agreement. There are no published completion dates or milestones indicating a fixed endpoint for the initiative.
Evidence of measurable progress beyond signing events is limited in public record as of early February 2026; several high-level statements confirm continued collaboration, but detailed project lists, funding allocations, or milestone timelines have not been publicly disclosed. Given the breadth of sectors and the nature of the collaboration, publicly verifiable progress is likely incremental and governance-driven rather than granular, funded rollouts with firm deadlines. This supports a reasoned conclusion of continued activity without a defined completion date.
Reliability notes: the sources are official government statements (State Department) and Israeli government releases, which are appropriate for tracking official policy commitments. Journalistic coverage corroborates signings and joint statements but often summarizes high-level details without operational specifics. The incentives for both sides—national security, technology leadership, economic growth—support sustained intent but do not guarantee rapid execution or quantified milestones.
Follow-up assessment: continued monitoring of official releases, joint statements, and any new implementation agreements or joint program announcements is warranted. A concrete update should be pursued around mid-to-late 2026 to assess whether new projects, funding, or formal milestones have materialized beyond the 2025–2026 declarations.

Reliability considerations: the State Department is an authoritative source for
U.S. foreign policy announcements, and its briefing text provides direct evidence of the stated intent and sectors. Secondary coverage from reputable outlets often mirrors the administration’s framing but underscores that the relationship is at an early, ongoing stage rather than describing completed programs. Given the lack of disclosed milestones or funding commitments, caution is warranted in interpreting the partnership as near-term finished work.
Incentive context: the stated aims emphasize security, economic growth, talent development, and technological leadership, potentially aligning incentives across universities, industry, and government partners in both countries. The use of a formal framework and governance group suggests a structured attempt to sustain collaboration beyond particular administrations, which may influence future policy and funding directions in AI, energy, and critical technologies.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Public statements since January 16, 2026 confirm a declared strategic partnership and a broad framework for cooperation in these tech sectors (State Department joint statement;
Israeli government briefings). The available documents frame the initiative as ongoing and intended to deepen collaboration rather than as a completed program.
Evidence of progress to date shows a formalization of the partnership: the January 16, 2026 State Department release describes a new Strategic Framework for Cooperation and names concrete areas of cooperation (AI, energy technologies, advanced computing, space, edge, semiconductors) with governance and implementation mechanisms such as the Joint Economic Development Group. Israeli and allied government outlets similarly frame the accord as a launched framework and a basis for future joint activities (e.g., gov.il summaries; corroborating reports from regional outlets).
As of 2026-02-03, there are no publicly announced, fully completed projects or milestones in these sectors. The statements emphasize intent, governance structures, and the establishment of cooperation platforms rather than finished joint programs, funding disbursements, or completed research contracts. The absence of concrete project completions suggests the claim remains in the early, in-progress phase.
Notable milestones already identified include the formal signing/announcement of the Strategic Framework, articulation of implementation governance (e.g., the Joint Economic Development Group), and the designation of Pax Silica as a coordinating concept within the partnership. These elements establish the framework for future joint AI and technology initiatives but do not yet demonstrate substantive completed research or investments across all listed sectors.
Source reliability is high for the core claim—the State Department release is an official
U.S. government document detailing the partnership, with corroboration from Israeli government channels. Coverage from independent, reputable outlets in the region further corroborates the launch and framing of the agreement, though most outside reporting notes that activities are planned rather than completed. Overall, the reporting supports an in-progress status with a clear trajectory toward ongoing joint R&D and investment across the specified technology domains.

The claim is that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. The new Strategic Framework for Cooperation was publicly launched on January 16, 2026, signaling an official commitment to deepen collaboration in these technology sectors. The State Department press release characterizes the partnership as a durable, multi-sector effort and outlines specific areas of cooperation and governance structures. This indicates a formal, ongoing policy direction rather than a one-off pledge.
Evidence of progress includes the establishment of a Strategic Framework and the stated goal of continuing deep collaboration, including joint research initiatives, human capital development, and joint platforms for basic and applied research. The release notes that a Joint Economic Development Group will serve as the primary steering body to guide implementation, suggesting an organized governance mechanism is in place. However, there is no disclosure of new funding or binding financial commitments in the document. The status therefore appears to be moving from agreement to implementation planning.
As for completion status, the document explicitly states that the text is an expression of intent and does not create legally binding rights or obligations, and that cooperation will proceed within applicable laws and procedures. There are no announced milestones or completion dates, so it remains unclear when or if specific projects will be completed. Based on the available information, the effort is functioning as an ongoing collaborative framework rather than a finished program.
Dates and milestones available publicly show the launch date (January 16, 2026) and the governance mechanism (Joint Economic Development Group) but do not provide concrete project-by-project milestones or completion timelines. The sources are official statements from the U.S. Department of State, which enhances reliability but also reflects the aspirational framing typical of launch announcements.

Evidence of progress: In January 2026, the U.S. Department of State released a joint statement launching a Strategic Partnership on AI, Research, and Critical Technologies, signaling formal intent to deepen cooperation across AI, energy, space, semiconductors, and related fields (State Dept, 2026-01-16). Prior to that, Israel and the United States publicly announced an MOU on advancing cooperation in energy and artificial intelligence, signed at Blair House in July 2025, with U.S. Energy Department and
Israeli partners detailing joint AI-energy initiatives (gov.il 2025-08-07; energy.gov 2025-07-08).
Status of completion: The completion condition—ongoing implementation of joint R&D and investment across the listed sectors—remains in_progress, with multiple milestones announced since 2025 and a formal framework reaffirmed in 2026. The January 2026 statement emphasizes continuation and expansion, rather than a closed set of projects, and notes governance through the Joint Economic Development Group (State Dept 2026-01-16).
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the July 2025 MOU signing on AI and energy cooperation (Blair House event) and the January 2026 launch of the Strategic Partnership, which outlines areas such as AI applications, space collaboration, semiconductors, and protection of sensitive research technologies (gov.il 2025-08-07; energy.gov 2025-07-08; State Dept 2026-01-16). Additional areas referenced include robotics, materials science, and new energy sources, embedded in the Pax Silica framework in the 2026 statement.
Source reliability note: Primary sources are the U.S. State Department press release, official Israeli government communications, and U.S. Department of Energy material, all of which are high-salience, official channels. Coverage from secondary outlets corroborates the sequence of MOUs and joint statements. Taken together, these indicate a strategic, ongoing program rather than a completed project.
Follow-up: If you want to reassess progress on a specific sub-area (e.g., AI in healthcare, grid optimization, or semiconductor cooperation) on a fixed date, I can search for measurable outputs (announced projects, funding decisions, joint labs, or signed addenda) and provide an updated status then.

Restatement of the claim:
The United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors as part of a Strategic Framework for Cooperation.
Evidence progress: The State Department published a January 16, 2026 joint statement announcing the launch of a Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, Research, and Critical Technologies, framed under the Pax Silica initiative and describing ongoing cooperation in AI, energy technologies, space, semiconductors, and related areas (staffed by the two governments and partners) with emphasis on secure research environments. Israel’s foreign ministry and other sources have publicly signaled Israel’s participation in Pax
Silica and the new partnership (e.g., Israel’s MFA statements and coverage). The JNS report notes a 2025
MoU on AI and energy cooperation, indicating prior steps toward joint research and policy alignment. These items collectively show formalized intent and initial implementation steps, not a completed program.
What remains in progress or uncertain: The completion condition is described as ongoing implementation with no fixed end date. Since the January 2026 statement marks an opening framework rather than a closed program with milestones published publicly, progress will likely be measured by subsequent joint projects, funding announcements, and governance activities (e.g., Joint Economic Development Group efforts) over time rather than a discrete completion event.
Milestones and dates: January 16, 2026 marks the official launch of the strategic partnership; subsequent signaling of Israel joining Pax Silica reinforces the multi-country, forward-leaning architecture. Reports also reference related memoranda and joint work in 2025–2026 to advance AI, energy, and semiconductor collaboration. No concrete, published end date or milestone list beyond the stated framework is available in the sources reviewed.
Source reliability and incentives: The core claim is backed by the U.S. State Department’s official press release, which is a primary source for
U.S. government policy statements. Additional corroboration comes from Israel’s MFA communications and reputable outlets reporting on the launch and
Pax Silica involvement. The framing emphasizes security, research integrity, and economic/security incentives driving deepened cooperation, with governance delegated to interagency groups rather than a single funding line.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. The January 16, 2026 State Department joint statement confirms a new Strategic Framework for Cooperation in critical technologies, including AI and related sectors, and describes it as a durable, multi-year partnership (State Dept, 2026-01-16). The document also announces a governance mechanism, noting that the Joint Economic Development Group will serve as the primary steering body for implementation (State Dept, 2026-01-16).
Progress evidence exists in the formal launch of this framework, with Israel and the United States signing a joint statement in
Jerusalem and linking the effort to the Pax Silica initiative, a broader
US-Israel tech/security collaboration (state/
Israeli government pages, 2026-01). Additional reporting highlights Israel’s alignment with Pax Silica and the signing of AI-focused cooperation statements, underscoring tangible diplomatic commitments rather than a mere aspirational pledge (Jerusalem Post, VinNews, Jan 2026).
While the framework explicitly envisions ongoing joint R&D, investment, and capacity-building across the listed sectors, there is no public, published completion date or concrete milestones with funded programs and deliverables at this early stage. The available materials emphasize intent, governance, and areas of cooperation rather than completed projects or multi-year funding profiles (State Dept, 2026-01-16; Israeli government releases, 2026-01).
Reliability notes: the primary source is the U.S. State Department, a direct government statement, which strengthens the claim of ongoing collaboration. Complementary reporting from Israeli government outlets and major outlets confirms the signing and framing of the partnership, though initial coverage centers on announcements rather than downstream outcomes (State Dept; Israeli gov pages; Jerusalem Post, Jan 2026).
In summary, progress toward the claim is evidenced by the formalization of a Strategic Framework and the initiation of governance structures, with ongoing implementation anticipated but without established completion milestones. Given the absence of a fixed end date and concrete programmatic deliverables public as of late January 2026, the status is best characterized as in_progress rather than complete or failed.

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. The most authoritative signal to date is a January 16, 2026 joint statement from the U.S. State Department and the
Israeli government announcing a new Strategic Framework for Cooperation in critical technologies, including AI, energy, space, semiconductors, and related fields (State Dept, 2026-01-16). This frames ongoing collaboration rather than a completed program, with emphasis on deepening and formalizing cooperation and ensuring secure research environments.
Progress evidence includes an earlier July 2025 memorandum of understanding on AI and energy cooperation, signed at Blair House, which the parties described as advancing joint AI applications for grid resilience and joint R&D and policy development (JNS.org reporting on the MoU, 2025-07-09; Israeli government page, 2025-09-07). The January 2026 statement builds on that foundation, expanding areas of cooperation to include robotics, materials science, and new energy technologies, and linking the effort to a broader Pax Silica framework and a governance mechanism via the Joint Economic Development Group (State Dept, 2026-01-16).
In terms of completion status, there is no fixed completion date or binding deadline. The announced framework characterizes the collaboration as ongoing and iterative, with multiple departments and partners responsible for implementation, and it cautions that cooperation will proceed under applicable laws and procedures. The focus is on long-term research, development, and investment rather than a single milestone or finish line (State Dept, 2026-01-16).
Concrete milestones cited or implied include continued joint research initiatives, joint training and talent development programs, platforms for basic and applied research, and expanded semiconductor and space collaboration, all within a governance structure designed to steer implementation (State Dept, 2026-01-16). The presence of prior MoU work and the new strategic framework suggest advancing activity, though independent verification of specific programs or funded projects remains limited in public sources.
Source reliability is strongest for the January 2026 State Department release, which directly documents the
U.S. and Israeli stance and governance plan. Supplemental context from JNS.org and Israeli government pages confirms the prior MoU on AI and energy and situates the 2026 announcement within an ongoing policy dialogue. Taken together, sources indicate ongoing, multi-year cooperation rather than a completed program (State Dept, 2026-01-16; JNS.org 2025-07-09; gov.il 2025-09-07).

Independent reporting and advocacy from
Israeli and regional outlets highlighted the signing and the broader scope of cooperation (Jerusalem Post, JNS, Times of Israel, mid-to-late January 2026).
Ongoing programs and milestones: The partnership builds on existing mechanisms such as the binational BIRD Foundation, which continued to fund Israel–
U.S. R&D collaborations and announced calls for proposals and funding in 2025–2026, illustrating concrete action streams under the broader strategic framework (BIRD Foundation announcements, 2025–2026). Multiple outlets reported ongoing activity and funding rounds aligned with the strategic partnership’s areas of emphasis.
Progress status and completion conditions: There is clear evidence of renewed commitments and ongoing collaboration, but no stated completion date or end-point for the joint R&D and investment program. The arrangement appears to be an ongoing strategic partnership with periodic milestones and funding cycles rather than a single, closed-ended project (State Department, 2026-01-16; BIRD Foundation communications, 2025–2026).
Source reliability and caveats: The principal source is an official U.S. government release (State Department), which is a primary document for policy commitments and therefore highly reliable for the stated intention. Secondary reporting from reputable outlets corroborates the event and frames it within ongoing U.S.–Israel technology collaboration. Given the nature of strategic partnerships, progress will be best assessed via subsequent funding announcements, joint programs, and signed implementing agreements (State Department; BIRD Foundation; major outlets in Jan 2026).

The claim states that
the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. This was formalized in a January 16, 2026, joint statement launching a Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, Research, and Critical Technologies, signaling an ongoing bilateral framework rather than a one-off agreement. The language emphasizes deepening collaboration across multiple technology sectors and a secure research environment.
Evidence of progress includes the formal establishment of a Strategic Framework for Cooperation, described as a durable partnership to deepen joint initiatives in AI, energy technologies, space, semiconductors, robotics, material sciences, and new energy sources. The statement outlines a governance mechanism (the Joint Economic Development Group) to steer implementation and to coordinate academic, industry, and government participation. The framework explicitly notes that cooperation is intended to occur within applicable laws and not as a binding financial commitment.
Concrete milestones reported in the release include plans for joint initiatives in machine learning applications (healthcare, cybersecurity, autonomous systems), human capital development through training programs, and the creation of joint research platforms. It also references space collaboration through
Artemis-related efforts and the expansion of chip-related initiatives involving
U.S. and
Israeli technology partners. The integration of Israel’s research ecosystem as a secure node (a “Pax Silica node”) is framed as a key structural element.
Context from the U.S. State Department release indicates the agreement is part of a broader strategic posture (Pax Silica) and aims to secure critical technology frontiers while fostering economic growth and security through technological leadership. The document states the partnership is intended to be durable and non-binding in a legal sense, with implementation subject to domestic procedures and funding availability. Because the release is an official government communication, it provides a credible baseline for ongoing cooperation, though it does not yet specify a fixed timetable of projects or measurable completion criteria.
Reliability notes: the primary source is the U.S. State Department official release, supplemented by reporting from partner outlets noting the same January 16, 2026 event. Given the official nature of the announcement, the claim about ongoing and expanded cooperation is credible, but concrete progress will hinge on subsequent governance actions, funding decisions, and project-specific milestones.

the United States and
Israel intend to continue joint research, development, and investment across
AI, energy, advanced computing, space, edge innovation, and semiconductors. Evidence from official sources confirms a formal launch of a Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, Research, and Critical Technologies, announced January 16, 2026 (State Department press release). The language underscores a durable framework intended to deepen cooperation across the listed technology sectors, with emphasis on secure research environments (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026).
Progress so far centers on the formal commitment and the incorporation of Pax Silica as a broader alliance framework. The joint statement describes ongoing collaboration within AI, energy technologies, space, semiconductors, robotics, and other field areas, and notes the establishment of governance mechanisms to guide implementation (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). Reports from reputable coverage in Israel reflect signing ceremonies and participation by senior officials, signaling momentum in the partnership (e.g., JPost, Jan 16–17, 2026).
As of the current date, there is no published completion date or fixed end-state; the completion condition appears to be ongoing implementation of activities by governments and partners, rather than a discrete milestone or cut-off date (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). Coverage indicates continued expansion of the Pax Silica framework, with added signatories and a focus on supply-chain resilience and technology leadership, rather than a defined finish line (JPost, Jan 16–17, 2026).
Concrete milestones cited include the signing of the joint AI statement and the integration of Israel into
Pax Silica, a multilateral effort to coordinate AI and critical technologies across member nations (Jerusalem Post, Jan 16–17, 2026). The State Department document also names governance structures like the Joint Economic Development Group as the steering body for implementation (State Dept, Jan 16, 2026). These elements collectively indicate ongoing, not completed, progress toward the stated partnership aims (State Dept; JPost).
Reliability notes: the primary source is the U.S. State Department, which released an official joint statement detailing the partnership and its scope. Independent coverage from the Jerusalem Post corroborates the signing event and the expansion of Pax Silica, adding context on ministerial participation and intended impact on innovation and security (State Dept; JPost). Taken together, the reporting supports an ongoing program with defined thematic areas but without a fixed completion date (State Dept; JPost).
