Netanyahu wants Israel "to draw down to zero the American financial support"
Netanyahu said Israel should wean itself from the remaining $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military support and phase out the aid over 10 years.
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News' '60 Minutes' he plans to phase out U.S. military financial support over the next decade, stating 'I want to draw down to zero the American financial support' currently worth $3.8 billion annually.
- Congressional opposition to Israeli military aid has intensified, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vowing last month to oppose all funding, as public sentiment shifted dramatically following the Gaza war outbreak in October 2023.
- Israel currently receives $3.8 billion annually under a $38 billion U.S. commitment through 2028, now facing heightened political scrutiny; a March Pew survey found 60% of U.S. adults hold an unfavorable view of Israel, up nearly 20 points in four years.
- Netanyahu attributed declining American support to what he claimed foreign countries have 'basically manipulated' on social media, stating this 'correlates almost 100%' with reduced backing, though he opposes censorship. He said President Donald Trump's reaction was notably surprised.
