Netanyahu Plans to Phase Out U.S. Military Aid to Israel Within Ten Years

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to phase out U.S. military financial aid within ten years, aiming to reset Israel's financial relationship with the U.S. and strengthen ties with Gulf nations. Israel currently receives about $3.8 billion annually, with a total of $38 billion pledged through 2028. Netanyahu cited declining U.S. public and congressional support since the 2023 Gaza conflict and expressed urgency to begin this transition without waiting for the next U.S. Congress.
