Netanyahu Says That Israel Hopes to End Its Dependence on U.S. Military Aid: ‘It’s Time We Weaned Ourselves from the Remaining Military Support’

EXCERPT:

NETANYAHU: "I want to draw down to zero the American financial support — the financial component of the military cooperation that we have, because we receive — we receive $3.8 billion dollars a year and I think that it’s time that we wean ourselves from the remaining military support.”

GARRETT: “Can you give me a timetable?”

Netanyahu: “I said, let's start now and do it over the next decade or the next 10 years, but I want to start now. I don’t want to wait for the next Congress. I want to start now. And, you know, it could go down very fast.”
