Trump says U.S. military aid to Israel will stop at the end of 2026, Reuters reports

Reuters reports that Donald Trump told Fox News he had agreed with Benjamin Netanyahu to stop annual U.S. military aid to Israel by the end of 2026. Trump described the aid as $4 billion a year and said Washington would still help Israel if needed. This is his account of an agreement and future policy, not evidence that payments have stopped.

What the sources establish

Donald Trump is the claimant for the agreement with Benjamin Netanyahu, the $4 billion annual figure and the proposed year-end stop. Reuters’ credited report was inspected through Al-Monitor’s authorised syndication. The full Fox interview, a signed agreement, Netanyahu’s response, implementing measures and payment records were not inspected. Other reports of the same remarks do not independently establish the agreement or implementation; no corroborated status is claimed. No material contrary account was established. Whether and how the stated change takes effect remains unresolved. The timestamp is the publication minute, converted from 08:34:33 at UTC-5 and rounded; it is not the interview hour or a payment cutoff. No present equipment delivery or force position is included.

Evidence last checked: 3 Nov 2026 13:51 UTC.
