Donald Trump announces the end of aid for Israel's security, amounting to 3.8 billion dollars annually

On November 3, Donald Trump announced the termination of a $3.8 billion annual security aid to Israel during a Fox News interview. He stated that Israel, being prosperous, no longer needs this support, and claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed with the decision. The aid, which began in 2019, was part of a ten-year agreement signed by Barack Obama. Netanyahu has previously expressed a desire to reduce Israel's dependency on U.S. financial support. Trump's comments also referenced criticism from Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed regarding U.S. support for Israel amidst ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
