That's just the tip of the iceberg. The rabbit hole goes much deeper.
This is a slight thread diversion, so hopefully mods provide some latitude..
For Pakistan, the problem is contained as Pakistan will not be sharing much with the USA, and it will be possible to cut off the taps as well, though existing information will be compromised.
This represents the biggest problem for Türkiye imho. As part of NATO, Türkiye will have a lot of integrated systems with the USA to provide with a consolidated picture of the whole NATO ecosystem. So, could Israel integrate with the US systems for data flows, AD picture, and get access to Türkiye data? Could Israel start to see what Türkiye can see, and cannot see? Could Israel get intelligence data from US intelligence agencies on what Türkiye military capabilities are via the US intelligence services monitoring of Türkiye itself ? The US watches everyone, even its "allies".
Additionally, the Initiative allows for "network integration" and "data fusion" between both countries' militaries.
US Congress moves to deepen military ties with Israel: Why it matters
Analysts say the plan would weave Israeli military interests more deeply into the fabric of US national security policy.
Senator Bernie Sanders wrote that the section "quietly expands U.S. military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight," adding the section was tantamount to "burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally
If they could get the data fusion and integration, then Israel's "new Iran" of Türkiye has some thinking to do.
The way the legislation is worded is that all data has to be made available, unless there is a national security reason why it cannot be, ie it is exception based.
The integration of US intelligence agencies, data systems and fusion of information systems will impact all countries that Israel turns its "eyes" on.
