President Trump says the United States will stop sending regular funding to Israel by the end of this year under a new agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to The Independent. In an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," Trump said the U.S. currently gives Israel $4 billion a year and that the two leaders "made a deal months ago" to end those payments. He also said the U.S. would still "help Israel if they need it."

The comments point to a possible major change in one of America's longest-running foreign policy commitments. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Israel has received more than $300 billion in U.S. economic and military aid since 1948 after adjusting for inflation, more than any other country. At least $21.7 billion in military aid went to Israel in the two years after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, which started the war in Gaza and came before joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

So far, Trump's account is the main source on the deal. He didn't say what the agreement covers, whether it applies to both military and economic aid, or what "help" might look like after the payments stop. The report doesn't include a response from Netanyahu's office. Lawmakers who control U.S. foreign aid spending also haven't weighed in yet.
