(Washington, D.C., November 3, 2026) – In response to President Trump's announcement that the United States will end its $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel at the end of this year, DAWN issues the following statement:

"A statement by a U.S. president that the U.S. will imminently stop providing Israel with billions in military aid annually is an unprecedented breakthrough that was unfathomable just a few years ago and would not have been possible without the decades of dogged advocacy of the Palestine movement," said Omar Shakir, DAWN's Executive Director. "Ending the U.S.'s annual provision of several billion dollars of aid, though, will not end U.S. complicity in Israel's genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. The U.S. should suspend all arms transfers to Israel, including foreign military financing, foreign military sales, and direct commercial sales, as its own laws already require."
