Trump's Election Day surprise: End US aid to Israel. What it means for future funding
On Election Day, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is moving toward ending nearly $4 billion in annual aid it gives Israel, saying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to the plan months ago.
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.
