Washington stops funding to Israel.
The Donald Trump administration intends to stop as soon as possible the annual funding to Israel for the purchase of American weapons. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said that Israel has enough financial resources to pay independently for military supplies from the US.
"They can buy weapons from us, but we don't need to provide more funding," emphasized the US Secretary of State. When asked if the parties could move to such a system in 2027, Rubio replied: "The president said that's what we'll do."
At the same time, according to the Israeli state television and radio company Cannes, the Israeli authorities were not prepared for the American president's statement. Trump claimed that the decision was agreed upon with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
