Yikes! Trump succumbs to pressure and cuts off all aid to Israel even though Israel is still our most important strategic partner in the Middle East.
Maybe Trump IS getting senile?
I'm all for cutting off aid to most countries, but Israel is in a constant state of war through no fault of their own, and we have an historic relationship with them, our only real friend in the region. Dumping them is unwise at this time in history. We will probably need them to finish this Iran war.
Yes, Netanyahu wants to get off the drug of U.S. aid too, but can he? It costs a LOT of money to purchase American weapons, and without them the legion of enemies against Israel will indeed drive them into the sea.

Could this possibly be to the relationship between Israel and its Arab neighbors being at an all time high? We can thank Iran for that. Another bright spot is the cooling of relations between Turkey and Russia. Russia has hit 22 Turkish flagged vessels in the Black Sea. Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania have entered into a pact to protect shipping in the Black Sea. Putins Lake Russia, aka the Black Sea, is another pipe dream going up in smoke because of Putins arrogance.

You guys don't get it. You haven't read the whole story. Trump is backing off on aid to Israel because, as he says, Israel is doing just fine without aid from us and doesn't need it. He has discussed it with Netanyahu and Bibi is OK with it.
Sometimes the right answer is the simplest one. You HAVE heard of Occam's Razor, right?
