Israel surprised by Trump's decision. "The worst moment for such a step"

Donald Trump announced potential cuts to U.S. military aid to Israel, which currently receives $3.8 billion annually. The existing agreement lasts until 2028, but Israeli officials were surprised by the possibility of aid ending in 2026. Prime Minister Netanyahu aims for Israel to become self-sufficient in defense, planning to invest $110 billion in domestic arms production over the next decade. Concerns arise over the impact of reduced U.S. support, especially amid ongoing conflicts. While some believe Israel can manage without U.S. aid, others warn of significant financial challenges. The relationship with the U.S. is under strain, with rising criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza affecting perceptions.
