Trump halts Tel Aviv aid
Donald Trump announced that he had agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu to end $4 billion a year in U.S. funding for Israel by the end of 2026, while continuing arms sales. He did not specify what type of funding he meant or how it would be ended. The current memorandum of understanding provides for $3.8 billion in annual military aid through September 2028. The announcement came on U.S. midterm election day, amid declining public support for Israel. Analysts said it could be an electoral move to counter Democratic criticism of the aid. A Quinnipiac University poll found that 48% of voters and 66% of Democrats believe Washington gives Israel too much support, up from 16% and 20%, respectively, in 2017.
