  "account": "On election day, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States would cease providing $4 billion annually in aid to Israel, citing the issue as a way to address criticisms from left-wing Democrats. According to Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and he had previously agreed to halt funding by the end of this year. While the exact details of how the funding would stop were not provided, Netanyahu had previously stated that US aid would wind down over time. The move comes as US voters head to the polls for midterm elections that could result in Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives. Support for Israel has been declining in the US, particularly among Democrats, due to Israel's response to Hamas in Gaza in October 2023.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he made a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington would stop $4 billion in annual funding to Israel after this year, but will still sell weapons to its close Middle East ally.",
