Israel intends to refuse American military aid.
Israel intends to gradually abandon American military aid and move to a partnership with Washington under new conditions. This was stated in a statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The ministry recalled that in 1996 Netanyahu promised to gradually spend 1.2 billion dollars in American economic aid and according to the department he has kept this promise. Now, 30 years later, the Prime Minister sees the Israeli economy as strong enough to refuse American military aid.
The ministry emphasized that this step means a transition from an aid model to a partnership. He also quoted the words of the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who said that the initiative to refuse aid came from the Israeli side itself.
