## Key points

- Trump says annual US aid to Israel will end by year-end.
- Arms sales are expected to continue.
- Netanyahu has previously supported phasing out aid.

## Summary

Donald Trump says the United States will stop its annual aid to Israel by the end of this year, following an agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said Israel is now prosperous enough to manage without the funding, though the US could help again if circumstances change. The decision matters because it would end a long-running, multi-billion-dollar support arrangement while arms sales are set to continue.

Trump put the aid at $4 billion a year and said Netanyahu had raised the idea, which the two leaders had discussed for years. A 2016 US-Israel agreement provided $38 billion in security assistance over 10 years, or $3.8 billion annually; a study estimated the US provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance after the Gaza war began in 2023. Netanyahu has previously said he wants to taper off US military aid over the next decade.
