Trump claims funding to Israel ending in 2026 as merger of Israeli–US armies looms
The Cradle | November 3, 2026
US President Donald Trump said on 3 November that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed that Washington would halt its billions in yearly aid to Tel Aviv after the end of this year.
“Now, as far as paying Israel, Bibi Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4 billion a year, and we made a deal months ago that we’re stopping,” the US president told Fox News.
“We’ve already agreed that by the end of this year we won’t be paying Israel. Now we’ll help Israel if they need it,” he added.
He went on to say that Israel does not “need it.”
“Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it? It’s a bad, it’s a bad talking point,” he said, referring to Abdul el-Sayed – a democratic nominee for Michigan who has been critical of US financial support for Israel.
Israel receives $3.8 billion in US military aid a year. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that provides $3.8 billion in yearly US military aid to Israel does not expire until 2028.
Trump’s comments coincide with the start of the US midterms election, and come weeks before the US 2027 annual defense budget is expected to be approved before government funding expires on 11 December – which could be delayed due to disputes.
Washington is reportedly seeking $1.5 trillion in defense funding from Congress for 2027.
Last month, Netanyahu alluded to a halt in US funds for Israel. “If you think we’re going to continue receiving what I secured twice, and that’s tens of billions of dollars in American aid for the defense budget, prepare yourselves and get used to the fact that it won’t happen because America has changed,” he said.
Months earlier, plans for a US–Israeli military integration were revealed in Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Section 224 of the NDAA, entitled “United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” proposes bilateral defense research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and other US–Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation.
Bipartisan efforts by Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna to block the military integration have been shut down by Congress.

A sample of vaccine and injectable medication tragedies during my lifetime
This is what happens when you demand speedy production in an era of politicized regulation
By Meryl Nass, MD | February 12, 2022
All these tragedies have been due to failures of testing or failures in manufacturing processes. Most occurred before vaccine manufacturers were given virtually complete protection from liability in 1987.
With the duration of patent exclusivity determining how much new products earn, products are rushed to market as quickly as possible, most using a shortened path for FDA review. Recalls and market removals of approved products are much more common than they used to be. We can only expect more of these disasters in the future, especially if the products are mandated for everyone. … continue
