- The existing aid agreement runs through 2028, leaving implementation unclear.

## Summary

President Donald Trump said on 3 November that the United States would end roughly $4 billion in annual aid to Israel at the close of 2026. Speaking by telephone to Fox News as Americans voted in the midterm elections, he said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to the change months earlier. Trump argued that Israel no longer needed the money and said the payments had become a “bad talking point” for Democrats criticising US support for Israel. He said Israel could still buy American weapons.
