Es handelt sich um ein bestehendes Zehn-Jahres-Programm zur Sicherheitsunterstützung Israels durch die USA.
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat das Aus für ein milliardenschweres Zehn-Jahres-Programm zur Unterstützung der Sicherheit Israels angekündigt. Der israelische Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu sei mit dem Schritt „einverstanden“, sagte Trump am Dienstag in einem Telefoninterview mit dem US-Sender „Fox News“.
Geeinigt habe er sich mit Netanjahu schon „vor Monaten“, die Zahlungen sollen demnach zum Jahresende enden. Die Idee sei von Netanjahu gekommen, behauptete Trump. Damit solle die seit Jahren andauernde „Verschwendung“ von Geldern aufhören.
„Israel ist unsere Nummer eins. Wir geben ihnen mehr Geld als allen anderen, und sie brauchen es nicht mehr“, sagte Trump. Er fügte hinzu: „Wir werden Israel helfen, wenn sie es brauchen.“
