Trump: US military funding for Israel to end after 2026
US President Donald Trump announced that Washington will cease funding Israel's security needs starting at the end of 2026, following an agreement reached with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that Israel no longer requires the annual aid, which stands at approximately four billion dollars. This announcement sparked sharp criticism within Israel's political arena, as Yeshar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot and Democrats chairman Yair Golan labeled the move a failure and a threat to national security. The decision marks a historic shift in security relations, with Trump noting that the US will assist in the future only if necessary.
