US President Donald Trump has announced that Washington will end approximately $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by the end of 2026, following discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while allowing Israel to continue purchasing American weapons. The decision would end aid before current security agreements expire in 2028, though the administration did not make clear how the change would be implemented or what forms of aid would be affected. The announcement comes amid growing political disagreements over US military support for Israel, with Trump claiming that Israel can now finance its own defense purchases. here.
