 US President Donald Trump’s administration plans to continue providing security assistance to Israel in the coming years, despite Trump’s claim on the day of the midterm elections that Washington would cease providing such aid at the end of 2026, three US and Israeli officials told The Times of Israel.

The US and Israel have been in negotiations over recent months about a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) on security assistance to Israel that would see the aid wound down from its current annual rate of nearly $4 billion per year, an Israeli official said.

Proposals considered have included the complete phasing out of aid within five to ten years, according to the Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to discuss the matter.
