Netanyahu Plans to Phase Out US Military Aid
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his intention to gradually phase out U.S. military financial support for Israel over the next decade. Stating Israel has “reached maturity,” he believes the nation should transition from an aid recipient to an equal partner with the United States. This shift, articulated during a “60 Minutes” interview, includes a desire to deepen military cooperation through joint projects in intelligence, weaponry, and missile defense, moving away from the current annual $3.8 billion aid package.
