The US will stop funding Israel at the end of this year, US President Donald Trump announced. "Regarding payments to Israel, Bibi (Benjamin - TASS reference) Netanyahu and I reached an agreement in which we pay Israel 4 billion dollars a year. We agreed a few months ago that we would suspend [the payments], and they agree, because they have become a very prosperous country. By the end of the year we will stop paying Israel," the president said on the Fox News channel. Also, the resident of the White House did not clarify in which area the aid was discussed.
