According to the Times of Israel’s live blog for 3 November, President Donald Trump announced that US military aid to Israel will soon come to an end. Senior Israeli financial and security officials were reportedly caught off guard by the announcement. A presumed incoming member of Congress argued that ending aid on its own is not enough. The item did not give details of the timing or scope of the change.
Meanwhile, on 2 November the same live blog reported that Qatari mediators were back in Tehran for talks on a possible deal with the United States, according to a diplomat who spoke to the paper.
