Netanyahu’s office describes gradual phase-out of U.S. military aid

The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post report that Benjamin Netanyahu’s office described a gradual phase-out of U.S. military aid to Israel. President Donald Trump had said the aid would end by the close of 2026. A shared timetable and any change to payments remain unverified.

What the sources establish

The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post separately report the same statement from Netanyahu’s office. Reuters reported Trump’s earlier claim that aid would stop by the end of 2026. The National previously described a $3.8 billion annual baseline under the 2016 memorandum and separate approvals. The statements differ on timing. No jointly agreed timetable, implementing decision or change in payments was verified. The event time still represents the original Reuters publication minute, and the marker represents Israel.
