The Trump administration plans to continue security assistance to Israel, despite President Trump's claim that it would end in 2026. Negotiations are underway for a new memorandum of understanding to gradually reduce the nearly $4 billion annual aid. While Trump's comments have complicated discussions, existing contracts and congressional influence will shape the future of U.S. aid, with a shift towards a partnership rather than direct assistance.
