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, 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.
