President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States will stop providing approximately $4 billion in annual financial assistance to Israel by the end of 2026, citing an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The announcement signals a potential major shift in U.S.-Israel financial relations. However, the exact funding affected remains unclear, as the existing $3.8 billion annual military aid agreement is scheduled to run through 2028.
WASHINGTON — Speaking on Fox News, Trump said the agreement was reached months ago, arguing that Israel no longer needs the funding.
Trump emphasized that Washington would continue helping Israel if necessary.
Netanyahu's office has not yet commented on Trump's remarks.
