Senior Israeli diplomatic source: Netanyahu told Trump he wants to phase out all U.S. military aid within a decade
From the source speaking to Israeli reporters: "Netanyahu spoke with Trump, Vice President Vance and Witkoff, and told them that he is serious about bringing the MOU down to zero. They receive criticism from Republicans who are anti-Israel, and we told them that we will lead this effort. This is our direction: to achieve defense self-sufficiency, and we are convinced we can do this within ten years.
We are capable of sustaining an independent defense economy to the greatest extent possible and not be dependent on the goodwill of Congress. Our economy can support this. We want to move from aid to partnership and reach a point where the annual $3.6 billion in U.S. assistance is reduced to zero. We will have neither financial aid nor military aid. This is my vision. We want to achieve independence in aircraft as well."
Like I've been saying for years
