President Donald Trump said Tuesday he reached a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end $4 billion in annual US funding to Israel after 2026, according to Al-Monitor. Trump did not elaborate on the terms or conditions of the arrangement, which would represent a significant shift in decades of US military aid to the country.
The statement marked an unusual public announcement of a major shift in US-Israel relations, though details regarding what triggered the decision or how it might affect Israeli operations remain unclear.
