Military aid to the US-Israel: the end of the dependency, or a new chapter? Trump's announcement of the end of annual military aid of about 4 billion dollars to Israel until the end of the years signals a reshaping, not a rupture, of the alliance. Netanyahu proposed the end of the phasing out, with the aim of isolating Israel from the change of public opinion in the US and moving from "assistance to partnership" - arms purchases, technological cooperation and joint R&D. The $3.8 billion annual package of the 2016 MOU runs through 2028, and arms sales will continue. The paradox: Israel wants greater military independence without losing the American umbrella that will maintain its supremacy.
