President Donald Trump told Fox News on Election Day that the US will stop about <strong>$4 billion<\/strong> a year in assistance to Israel by year&#8217;s end because &#8220;they don&#8217;t need it,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2026\/11\/03\/politics\/trump-us-aid-israel\">CNN<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-says-israel-stop-receiving-4b-us-aid-years-end-can-still-buy-weapons\">Fox News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were giving them $4 billion \u2014 we are \u2014 but it gets cut off at the end of the year,&#8221; Trump said on &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends.&#8221; He cast it as a deal with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a way to kill a Democratic &#8220;talking point&#8221; about aid levels.

Rival Gadi Eisenkot called learning of the change &#8220;through the media&#8221; a danger to the strategic relationship.
