What was said
"I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have, because we receive $3.8 billion a year. And I think that it's time that we wean ourselves from the remaining military support. I said let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next 10 years, but I want to start now."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed in a 60 Minutes interview that he has proposed to President Trump a plan to eliminate Israel's annual $3.8 billion in U.S. military aid over the next decade, beginning immediately. This directly contradicts narratives that Israel seeks to increase American taxpayer support and marks a major shift in the decades-long U.S.-Israel financial relationship.
