Broadcasting Authority: Netanyahu proposed plan to end US aid
According to Hebrew media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a plan to gradually reduce U.S. military aid to Israel over a period of 10 years, with the aim of shifting the cooperative relationship toward developing joint defense programs rather than direct funding. The plan includes maintaining collaboration in missile defense while decreasing reliance on financial assistance, which has reached approximately $174 billion since 1945, according to Congressional data. This proposal was discussed during their meeting at the White House, where they talked about the future of military support under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding, which provides $38 billion in grants until 2028. Netanyahu had previously expressed in February 2026 his desire to gradually end U.S. aid over the next decade, aiming for Israel to become a partner in developing its defense industries rather than simply receiving aid. No statement has been issued by the White House following the report.
