Netanyahu's Office Frames US Aid Cutoff as Partnership Shift
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has reframed U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to end military aid as a transition to a strategic partnership. Trump stated he and Netanyahu agreed to cease the annual $3.8 billion aid, a move that surprised Israeli officials. While Netanyahu's office views this as an evolution, the exact timing of the cutoff is still under discussion. An abrupt end to the aid could force Israel to finance billions in defense costs from its own budget.
