Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with the British weekly The Economist published on Friday evening, expressed his hope that his country could wean itself off American military aid within the next ten years. Israel, which is living in a state of war, has developed exceptional capabilities, and its economy will soon reach a trillion dollars, he stated. «Therefore, I want to gradually reduce military aid in the coming years,» Netanyahu added. «During my last visit with US President Donald Trump, I reaffirmed our deep appreciation for the military assistance the United States has provided us over the years».
