What Trump meant when he said the U.S. is cutting aid to Israel
President Trump says he's halting aid to Israel. Israelis are worried. But experts say the U.S. is just shifting aid from the State Department to the Pentagon, with less congressional oversight.
Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would end military aid to Israel prompted responses from Israeli leaders, according to reports published Nov. 5 to Nov. 7. CyprusNews.eu reported that President Isaac Herzog was shocked, while Xinhua reported that Netanyahu responded. Moneycontrol said Netanyahu’s office described the aid cutoff as evidence of a strong partnership. NBC News referred to a $4 billion aid halt, while Hindustan Times described Trump as suggesting cuts to billions in annual aid; the reports do not say when or how a cutoff would take effect.
