Quick Summary

President Trump announced on Fox & Friends that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have agreed to end US aid to Israel after the current fiscal year, citing that Israel no longer needs it despite receiving $3.8 billion annually under a 10-year agreement signed in 2016. Trump suggested this decision was partly strategic, aiming to prevent Democrats from using foreign aid to Israel as an electoral issue; he assured that Israel can still purchase American weapons through separate arrangements.

Story summary

On November 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced on Fox & Friends that US aid of approximately $4 billion to Israel would end by year's end. He argued that Israel no longer needs this assistance and can purchase its own weapons. Despite the declaration, experts suggest that this move might be politically motivated rather than a substantive change in policy, as Trump faces criticism from left-wing politicians like Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed who have made Israel aid an issue during election campaigns.
