On Tuesday, November 3, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. aid to Israel will end at the start of 2027, saying that the country “no longer need[s] it.” The president said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought the idea to him years ago, and the two agreed that now is the time to end the assistance.
