US-Israel security pact set to halve direct military aid post-2028 under evolving five-year framework: Report
- On Monday, new details emerged indicating that US military assistance to Israel will not end immediately, but will instead be reduced by half by restricting its duration to a five-year window following 2028.
- This contrasts with President Donald Trump's claim last week that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to end aid by late 2026, which officials suggest was a political maneuver regarding the Michigan Senate race.
- Under the emerging agreement, direct military aid would shift from $33 billion over ten years to $16.5 billion over five years before ceasing, while allocations for joint air and missile defense research are expected to increase from $500 million annually.
- Describing the shift as a "model of partnership," a senior Israeli official noted that most security assistance returns to the United States economy, supporting American defense manufacturers and local jobs.
- Negotiators aim to finalize the memorandum before the new Congress takes office in January, as Israeli planners remain wary of potential appropriation hurdles and political friction regarding future legislative backing.
