Trump says US will stop $4 billion military aid to Israel at end of 2026
Trump said the aid cut was agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu and would not end U.S. arms sales or broader security cooperation.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the United States will stop providing $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by year-end, though the administration will continue selling arms to the Middle East ally.
- Trump stated he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed months ago to end the funding, citing the optics of the payment as a "signal of unfairness" frequently targeted by critics like Abdul El-Sayed.
- Since the Gaza war began in 2023, the U.S. provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance, building on a 2016 agreement signed by President Obama that committed $3.8 billion annually to Israel.
- Warning of a "severe blow to Israel's security," Yair Golan, an Israeli opposition leader, criticized the move, as did Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who asserted Israeli voters should determine their own leadership.
- Separately, oil prices dropped 3.3% on Tuesday as markets reacted to the policy shift, which faces potential complications due to U.S. security obligations under the Camp David peace accords with Egypt and Israel.
