US President Donald Trump said he agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu to halt about $3.8 billion in annual US military aid to Israel in 2027, two years before the current deal expires.

Ynetnews reported that the change could force Israel to fund weapons purchases itself, delay acquisitions and rethink joint missile defense projects. Commentators framed the decision as a turning point in US-Israel ties after the Democratic gains in the midterm elections.
