Benjamin Netanyahu plans to ‘wean’ Israel off American financial support.
Netanyahu was pressed on financial support Israel receives from the US during an interview with CBS News anchor Major Garrett Sunday.
‘Do you believe it’s time for the state of Israel to reexamine and possibly reset its financial relationship to the United States?’ Garrett asked, to which Netanyahu responded, ‘Absolutely.’
‘And I’ve said this to President Trump. I’ve said it in – to our own people. Their jaws drop,’ Netanyahu continued. ‘I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have.’
Netanyahu went on the say he wants to begin the drawdown immediately rather than wait for the next Congress, phasing it in over the next decade, a push that comes as American support for Israel declines.

This looks like the polite way for Netanyahu to respond to Trump’s firing him. If Trump has been playing hardball with Israel and Jewish Supremacy, his breaking free of JS control would look like this. This is the equivalent of allowing an employee to resign rather than face the humiliation of being fired. If true, this is very good news for Americans and all Westerners. ABN
