美國與以色列於2018年簽署為期10年的軍援合作備忘錄,每年提供約38億美元軍援,協議要到2028年9月才到期。以色列10月27日舉行大選,納坦雅胡失去執政多數,反對派也無法取得將他拉下台的明確途徑。
美國總統川普3日宣布,將於今年底結束後,停止對以色列提供每年約40億美元(約台幣1300億元)的軍事援助,並稱以色列「已不再需要了」。不過川普也說「如果他們有需要,我們還是會提供協助」。
美國期中選舉3日登場,在外界關注投票結果之際,川普卻突然宣布,將於今年年底停止對以色列每年約40億美元的軍事援助。川普稱對以色列提供鉅額援助,已成為民主黨有力的政治論述,共和黨卻因此承受批評。川普還稱,數個月前已與以色列總理納坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)達成協議,將停止這項資助,「以色列是我們援助最多的國家,但他們現在已經不需要了。」
外媒報導指出,目前仍不清楚,川普為何選在此時宣布,他聲稱在數月前達成的協議。川普的談話也沒有提供相關細節,目前也不清楚他指的是哪一項資金。而美以於2018年簽署、為期10年,每年對以色列提供38億美元軍援的合作備忘錄,也是要2028年9月才到期,川普也沒有解釋這筆資金將如何在年底前終止。這也讓外界猜測,川普是否打算提前至今年底終止相關安排。
報導提到,以色列於10月27日舉行大選,納坦雅胡失去執政多數,但也讓反對派無法取得將他拉下台的明確途徑,使以色列未來的領導局勢充滿不確定性。
以色列反對派候選人艾森科特(Gadi Eisenkot)也藉此表達反彈,質疑以色列國防部門竟跟以色列民眾同步,都是透過媒體才得知戰略關係框架出現轉變,這顯示納坦雅胡的行事作風有多麼危險、必須將他換掉。
