Trump says US will stop funding Israel at the end of the year

President Donald Trump announced on election day that the US will terminate military aid to Israel by the end of the year. In a Fox News interview, Trump stated that Israel does not need the $4bn annual funding. This surprise decision follows a new deal struck with Benjamin Netanyahu. The announcement appears targeted at voters sceptical of US support for Israel and the war in Gaza, marking a significant shift in financial assistance provided by the US.
