Trump says US will stop $4 billion military aid to Israel at end of 2026
Trump said the deal would keep weapons sales flowing while ending direct aid, as he argued Israel no longer needs the money.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that 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 assistance.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initiated the agreement months ago, telling Trump that Israel is a 'very thriving country' that can purchase its own weapons without American financial support.
- Referencing domestic political pressure, the president criticized Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and other Democrats for using the aid as a 'talking point' against Republicans, describing it as a 'wasted thing.'
- Democratic Party Chairman Yair Golan slammed the move, calling it a 'severe blow to Israel's security' at a time when the country faces multiple fronts and arguing a responsible leader would increase aid.
- Despite ending financial assistance, Israel will retain the ability to purchase American military equipment directly; the existing $3.8 billion memorandum of understanding does not expire until 2028, creating ambiguity over implementation.
