  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will cease providing Israel with $4 billion in annual aid beginning at the close of 2026. Trump revealed this information during an interview on Fox News' Fox and Friends shortly after the midterm elections began on November 3. The President stated that the decision was made in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump claimed that the two leaders had reached an agreement months prior to implement this change. However, it remains unclear whether the aid being referred to includes all forms of assistance or if Trump's remarks were aimed at addressing criticism from Democrats. Trump also took the opportunity to criticize Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of weaponizing U.S. support for Israel as a political tactic to attack Republicans. The validity of Trump's claims has not been confirmed by Israeli officials or other media outlets. According to other reports, the memorandum of understanding that provides U.S.$3.8 billion annually in military assistance to Israel is set to expire at the end of 2028, not 2026 as claimed by Trump. In May 2026, Netanyahu had expressed his desire to gradually reduce Israel's financial aid from the annual U.S.$3.8 billion received to zero within a decade, stating that he did not want to wait for the next Congress.",
