Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will end its $3.8 billion annual military aid to Israel starting next year, a decision reportedly agreed upon with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu months ago. This abrupt cutoff will force Israel's Defense Ministry to find alternative funding for major weapons purchases and missile defense projects, potentially impacting long-term military plans and the strategic relationship between the two nations. While the U.S. has offered continued support, the specifics remain unclear, leaving Israel to navigate a significant shift in its defense funding model.
