(opens the publisher’s site)Trump said Tuesday he was ending $3.8 billion in annual aid to Israel; Netanyahu's office said Friday the relationship is shifting from aid to partnership.
- Trump said in a Fox News interview that Israel does not need the $3.8 billion in annual aid and that Netanyahu agreed to its termination.
- Netanyahu's office said US military aid has long held bipartisan support and that Israel used it to defend itself and confront shared enemies.
- The statement said Israel now has a strong and stable economy, and that Netanyahu and Trump are moving the relationship from aid to partnership.
- The current agreement, signed under Obama and in effect since 2019, provides $38 billion over ten years, including $33 billion for weapons purchases.
- US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said he was seeking clarifications on Trump's decision while defending continued American support for Israel.
- The aid would end this year, two years earlier than the scheduled expiry of the memorandum of understanding providing $3.8 billion annually.
