Trump says US will end $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by end of 2026
President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview on November 3, 2026 that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed months ago to stop roughly $4 billion in annual US aid to Israel by year-end. Trump said Israel no longer needs the funding and that the aid had become a Democratic talking point ahead of midterm elections. Current US military aid runs about $3.8 billion annually under a memorandum of understanding through 2028, and it was unclear which funding Trump meant.
