Israel is actively working with Washington on a new aid agreement, aiming for a gradual five-year reduction in military assistance, according to a report by i24NEWS diplomatic correspondent Guy Azriel. This initiative comes after President Donald Trump's recent announcement of halting aid to Israel, which has been met with efforts to secure a new deal before the new Congress is sworn in January.
The alternative plan has been secretly developed over several months. Former Minister Ron Dermer is reportedly a key figure in these discussions with the Americans, continuing his involvement from his time in office. He is working alongside officials from the Israeli security establishment and the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
Meanwhile, the current aid agreement remains in effect until 2028, unless Congress intervenes. An Israeli ambassador confirmed that no sudden halt to aid is expected, as such a move would require congressional action. He also noted that the decision regarding future aid is made far from Jerusalem.
An American source indicated a significant shift in U.S. public sentiment against funding, expressing doubt about future support for Israel, particularly from Generation Z.
