Trump Says $4 Billion Aid to Israel Will Stop After 2026

US vs Israel – (Special Correspondent/Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump has said the United States will stop its yearly aid to Israel after this year. He made the claim on Tuesday, as Americans voted in the midterm elections.

Trump said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on the plan months ago. The cash support is about $4 billion each year. He said Washington will still sell weapons to Israel.

He gave no details on how the money would stop. A current deal gives Israel $3.8 billion every year, and that deal runs until September 2028.

Trump told Fox News that Israel no longer needs the money. He also said some left-wing Democrats use the aid as a “bad talking point” against Republicans.

He named Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as one example. El-Sayed has opposed unlimited military help for Israel.

Many experts think the timing was no accident. Jon Alterman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies asked why the news came on Election Day. He also pointed to talk of a possible new joint strike on Iran.

Public views have changed in recent years. A Quinnipiac poll in June found 48 percent of voters think the US is too supportive of Israel. Among Democrats, the figure was 66 percent.

Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot was upset by the way the news came out. He said Israelis learned about it through the media. He added that Netanyahu cannot be trusted and must be replaced.

Republican Representative Don Bacon also voiced concern. He said the Israelis did not know about the plan.

Netanyahu’s future is also unclear after the October 27 vote. He lost his majority, but his rivals have no easy path to power.

Democratic Representative Ro Khanna said “zero aid” to Israel could become part of his party’s plan if it wins Congress. Congress must still pass money bills every year to release the funds.

Neither the White House nor Netanyahu’s office replied to requests for comment.
