Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senator from Michigan, welcomed the decision of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to end military aid to Israel until the end of 2026, and called for an end to the sale of American weapons to this country. In an interview with American National Radio, NPR, Al-Sayed said: "A broken clock also shows the correct time twice a day. In this policy, the president is really right." He added: "I want to stop the sale of weapons used for genocide and apartheid. "We need to spend this money on household needs." El-Sayed, who defeated Republican challenger Mike Rogers in the midterm elections, emphasized equal rights for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis. Trump previously announced an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to freeze about $4 billion in annual aid, but said arms sales would continue. The current US military assistance agreement is also valid until the end of 2028. These statements were made after the defeat of the Republicans and the increase of the discussions about the costs of the Iranian war.
