Trump Claims US Will Halt Israel Military Aid by Year-End
The former president made a surprise election day announcement, stating Israel no longer requires the approximately $4 billion annual payment.
Former US President Donald Trump has stated that the United States intends to discontinue its military aid to Israel by the close of this year. The announcement, made on Tuesday morning as voting commenced, came as a surprise.
Speaking in a phone interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump indicated that the US would cut the nearly $4 billion (£2.96 billion) in annual military assistance to Israel. He asserted that Israel "don't need it," suggesting the country no longer required the financial support.
The former president further claimed that continued US funding had evolved into a recurring political discussion point. He noted that Democrats and left-wing politicians had used it to criticise Republicans.
Mr. Trump's declaration appeared to be aimed at voters who hold sceptical views regarding US support for Israel and its involvement in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
