Trump announces end to US aid payments to Israel after this year

aljazeera.com —

President Donald Trump announced a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end US funding to Israel after this year, citing a $4 billion annual payment agreement made months ago. Trump stated the US will stop paying Israel by year-end but will still help if needed, though the specific aid form was unclear. The announcement comes amid ongoing debate over military aid and campaign contributions. The House defeated an amendment to cut Israel aid in July, 314-104, despite nearly half of Democrats supporting it, reflecting growing progressive opposition to Israel's Gaza war and shifting US political dynamics.
