Israel at US Rift's Heart
Donald Trump announced a halt to the annual $4 billion in aid to Israel, but said at the same time that Washington would help if Israel needed it. The writer viewed this as a political maneuver, not an end to military support. The article notes that funding for Israel could continue through other channels: cumulative U.S. aid since 1948 has exceeded $300 billion, and in 2024 Biden approved an additional $8.7 billion package. The article links the Republicans’ electoral defeat to the war with Iran and unconditional support for Israel, citing a poll showing that 48% of voters believe the United States provides too much support, compared with 16% in January 2017. It concludes that the election results strengthen pressure to change the relationship, but do not by themselves guarantee an end to support or to the influence of lobbying groups.
