President Donald Trump revealed in an interview that all military funding to Israel will be cut by the end of the year, despite claiming no bad blood with the Middle East ally.

Speaking by phone with Fox News on Tuesday, the president said the United States “won’t be paying anymore” for Israeli security because “they don’t need it.” It seems to confirm months of rumors and speculation that the White House was shutting off the taps when it came to funding the Jewish state’s defense.
