WASHINGTON — The US has been moving forward with a plan for months to pull nearly $4 billion in annual aid from Israel starting in 2027, as President Trump weighs his next move in the war against Iran that cost him the midterms. Trump announced the withdrawal of billions of US direct aid on Tuesday ahead of the 2026 elections, but a US official told The Post that negotiations with Israel over a Memorandum of Understanding that expires in fiscal year 2028, had “been ongoing for months. ” The MOU was signed in 2016, and under its terms, the US was providing $38 billion in military aid — $33 billion of which was in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and $5 billion of which was in missile defense appropriations — or about $3.
