PMO spokesman Doron Spielman called it a transition from aid towards partnership and mutual investment. US President Donald Trump has spoken of stopping that assistance before this year is out. The sum under discussion is nearly $4 billion in annual American assistance. Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel. The PMO said aid to Israel had always been a cross-the-aisle agreement.
