US President Donald Trump has announced the cessation of decades of American military support to Israel, causing significant concern among Israeli officials. Top representatives from Israel’s defence establishment, Foreign Ministry, and Finance Ministry have expressed alarm at the sudden announcement, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The move represents a dramatic shift in US-Israel relations and has prompted immediate analysis of its implications for Israeli security policy. Israeli defence officials are reportedly reassessing strategic priorities in light of the aid suspension.

Trump has sought to downplay concerns about escalation with Iran, telling the Financial Times that the US has ‘no immediate plan’ to attack Iran, though he emphasised American military readiness. He claimed US sanctions are damaging Iran’s economy and that oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain substantial.
