Trump announced that the United States will end its annual four billion dollar aid to Israel by the end of the year

Donald Trump announced the end of the $4 billion annual aid to Israel, citing that the country no longer needs it. This decision was reportedly made in agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu months ago. Trump criticized Democrats for using U.S. support for Israel as a political weapon ahead of midterm elections. The announcement comes amid declining support for Israel among American voters, particularly Democrats, following the renewed Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu had previously indicated that Israel should not expect the same level of U.S. military support in the future. The announcement surprised Israeli officials and highlighted the damage to U.S.-Israel relations under Netanyahu's leadership.
