Trump announces end of $3.8 billion US aid package to Israel

huffingtonpost.fr (French) — November 4, 2026 at 05:01 AM UTC

Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the United States will end its annual $3.8 billion security aid package to Israel, a decision he said was made in agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump revealed the move during a Fox News interview on midterm election day, stating the aid would stop at year's end. He claimed Netanyahu initiated the change, saying Israel is prosperous enough to forgo the assistance, though Washington could intervene again if needed. The announcement comes as Israel faces political uncertainty following October legislative elections that produced no clear majority. Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot criticized Netanyahu, saying the Israeli defense establishment learned of the strategic shift through media reports, demonstrating dangerous leadership. The aid stems from a 2016 Obama-era agreement running through 2028.
