Trump announced in a phone interview with Fox News that the US would stop paying military aid to Israel by the end of the year, saying he made the deal with Netanyahu, who "raised the issue," adding that Israel could still purchase American weapons. Netanyahu's office did not deny this, but is now calling the move "a transition from aid to partnership," while Israeli diplomatic officials claim that no final decision has been made and they are negotiating a successor agreement with a gradual reduction. Israel's ministries of defense and finance have not received reports of any agreement, and the current agreement worth $3.8 billion a year continues until 2028.
