Donald Trump says he's at "99% approval rating in Israel" in Fox & Friends interview

During a Fox & Friends interview on Nov. 3, former president Donald Trump claimed that virtually all Israelis view him favorably and quipped that he could relocate to the country and pursue its premiership if Americans grew weary of his leadership. He also announced that the United States intends to end roughly $4 billion a year of military aid to Israel by late 2026, a move he said he had previously discussed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and linked to growing U.S. political criticism, citing a Senate candidate in Michigan. The proposed cut would terminate early a decade‑long security pact begun in 2016 that earmarks about $38 billion for Israeli defense purchases and was originally slated to run through 2028. Netanyahu has previously noted that Israeli reliance on U.S. funding may eventually decline.
