Trump announces end of $4 billion US military aid to Israel

poder360.com.br (Portuguese) —

US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the United States will end military aid to Israel by the end of 2026, ahead of the current agreement's 2028 expiration. Trump said the initiative came from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The existing 2016 memorandum guarantees Israel $3.8 billion annually, totaling $38 billion over a decade, covering weapons purchases and joint missile defense development. Trump stated Israel, being prosperous, no longer needs the assistance, though it may still buy American arms. The announcement coincides with US midterm elections and Israel's fragmented parliamentary results, where Netanyahu's Likud party leads with 27 seats but requires coalition negotiations to form a majority government.
