Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that U.S. aid to Israel will be phased out gradually, not immediately at the end of the year, contradicting an earlier statement by U.S. President Donald Trump. The announcement, first reported by Ynet, stated that Netanyahu had pledged in 1996 to gradually cease U.S. financial aid, which then amounted to $1.2 billion, and that he upheld that commitment.
Thirty years later, Netanyahu declared Israel's economy strong enough to also phase out U.S. military aid. The statement emphasized that Israel now possesses a robust and stable economy, marking a significant transition from aid dependency to a partnership between Israel and the United States.
