Trump says US will stop $4 billion military aid to Israel at end of 2026
Trump said the move follows a deal with Benjamin Netanyahu and would leave Israel able to buy U.S. weapons directly.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the United States will cease providing $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of this year, stating the country no longer requires the financial assistance.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initiated the conversation months ago, with Trump saying Netanyahu acknowledged Israel is a 'very thriving country' that can purchase its own weapons without American financial support.
- Trump also cited political motivations, criticizing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and other Democrats for using the aid as a 'talking point' against Republicans. He described the arrangement as a 'wasted thing.'
- Democratic Party Chairman Yair Golan slammed the move as a 'severe blow to Israel's security,' arguing a responsible leader would fight to increase aid, not eliminate it during conflict.
- Despite ending financial assistance, the administration confirmed Israel will retain the ability to purchase American military equipment, though the existing $3.8 billion memorandum of understanding does not expire until 2028.
