After decades of US military aid, Netanyahu makes surprise move: We no longer

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel is now economically strong enough to gradually waive military aid from the United States, aiming to move towards a relationship based on partnership between the two countries.

A statement from his office said that Netanyahu had expressed his intention as early as 1996 to gradually end American financial aid, which at the time amounted to $1.2 billion.

According to the announcement, this promise was fulfilled and, thirty years later, Israel intends to take a similar step for military aid.

"Today, Israel has a strong and stable economy and, together with the United States, is taking an important step towards moving from a relationship based on aid to one based on partnership," the prime minister's office said in a statement.

Netanyahu had announced this intention in May, during an interview with the American CBS television show "60 Minutes", where he stated that he wanted to gradually reduce American financial aid, until its complete cessation.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed this week in Paris that the initiative to reduce aid was proposed by the Israeli side itself.

"This is a step that the Israelis themselves have proposed to us," Rubio said.

According to Netanyahu's office, the joint initiative of the Israeli Prime Minister and US President Donald Trump aims to demonstrate the strength of the alliance between the two countries and its adaptation to new international circumstances.
