Netanyahu Responds to Trump's Announcement on Ending Aid: "Moving from Aid to Partnership"
Published
The Prime Minister's Office of Benjamin Netanyahu responded today (Friday) for the first time to a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump. According to the statement, U.S. financial aid to Israel will end at the end of the year.
In a response published in English, the office wrote that Israel is moving from aid to partnership. According to the response, relations between the two countries are a partnership relationship and not merely a relationship of financial support. At this stage, it is not known what the details of this transition will be.
U.S. aid to Israel is defined in agreements between the two countries and consists mainly of security assistance. Israel is one of the countries that receive the most U.S. aid in the world, so the issue has great significance for the defense budget and for planning for the future.
The issue is still developing. Further details from the U.S. administration and the Israeli government are expected to be published in the coming days, so it is worth following developments.
