Donald Trump stated in a Fox News interview that the United States would cease aid to Israel by the end of this year, claiming an agreement had been reached with Benjamin Netanyahu. He noted that the U.S. provides $4 billion in aid to Israel annually, and that an agreement was made months ago, with Israel responding "no problem." He added that Benjamin Netanyahu initially proposed no longer accepting aid. Donald Trump clarified that the U.S. would still "be there if Israel needs help" and called Israel "a great ally."
