Trump says US will stop $4 billion military aid to Israel at end of 2026

Trump said the deal with Benjamin Netanyahu ends about $4 billion in annual U.S. military aid, while calling Israel a successful ally.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will stop providing about $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of this year, following an agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • The two leaders reached the deal "a few months ago," with Trump characterizing Israel as a "successful country" that no longer needs direct financial assistance from Washington.
  • In July, the House voted 314 to 104 to defeat a measure by Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky seeking to cut aid, reflecting ongoing political debates over Israel funding.
  • Trump told Fox News the U.S. will still support Israel if needed and that Israel can purchase American weapons without existing restrictions after the aid ends.
  • This shift signals a fundamental change in the U.S.-Israel security relationship, moving from subsidized government funding toward a commercial arms purchase model for future defense needs.
