Israeli finance ministry was unaware of plans to end US military aid: Report

Israel's finance ministry was unaware of any plans to immediately end US military assistance before President Donald Trump's announcement on Tuesday, according to Israel's Channel 12.

The $3.8bn in annual US military aid was expected to provide a significant source of funding for Israel's defence budget in 2027 and 2028, Channel 12 economics correspondent Yuval Sade reported in a post on X.

במשרד האוצר לא הכירו כוונה לבטל את הסיוע הביטחוני לישראל באופן מידי עד להצהרת הנשיא טראמפ היום. הסיוע בגובה 3.8 מיליארד דולר לשנה תוכנן כמקור משמעותי לתקציב מערכת הביטחון לשנים 2027 ו-2028.
