Netanyahu 'can no longer be trusted,' Eisenkot says after Trump announces US aid cutoff
Democrats Party leader and former IDF deputy chief of staff, Yair Golan, denounced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following US President Donald Trump's Tuesday announcement that the US will stop funding Israel after the end of 2026.
"Precisely at a time when Israel’s defense expenditures have reached enormous proportions, when the country needs to replenish its stocks of offensive weaponry, and when its air defense capabilities have been depleted following such a prolonged war, Netanyahu has notched yet another massive failure," Golan wrote on X/Twitter.
"The cessation of American aid deals a severe blow to Israel’s security and the quality of life within the country, as the burden of funding defense needs at such a critical juncture will fall entirely upon the Israeli public," he added.
"A responsible Prime Minister would have fought to increase American aid, not dismantle it," he continued.
"Netanyahu is deepening the security and economic crisis, putting Israel’s future at risk," Golan said.
