Story summary

On November 3, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel would cease at the end of the year, arguing that Israel no longer needs such assistance and can purchase its own weapons. During an appearance on Fox & Friends, Trump stated he had reached a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding this change. The decision comes amid contentious discussions over U.S.-Israel relations and has raised skepticism among some observers. While Trump emphasized that the U.S. would still sell arms to Israel, the move could impact political dynamics in both countries, particularly as it aligns with Netanyahu's recent statements about reducing reliance on foreign aid.
