Trump announces plan to end U.S. aid to Israel after 2025
President Donald Trump told Fox News that the United States will cease its annual $4 billion aid to Israel by the end of the year, though he said the U.S. would still assist Israel if needed.
President Donald Trump said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have agreed to stop the United States' $4 billion yearly aid to Israel after the end of this year. > "Now, as far as paying Israel, Bibi Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4bn a year, and we made a deal months ago that we’re stopping," Trump said. He added that the United States would still help Israel if required, though the specific form of future assistance was not detailed.
The statement comes amid ongoing debate in Washington over military aid to Israel and political contributions linked to Israeli supporters. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives rejected an amendment that would have cut off aid to Israel, with the measure failing 314-104. The amendment, introduced by Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, reflected growing divisions within U.S. politics over the country's support for Israel.
