Netanyahu: If US aid deal not suitable, we’ll wait for next president

The PM tells the weekly cabinet meeting that if the terms of a new defense aid package from the US do not meet Israel’s needs, then he will wait until the next president is sworn in before signing the agreement, in the hopes of reaching a better deal.

“It’s still not certain that we will reach an agreement,” Netanyahu tells ministers, according to Haaretz. “We have to see if we can reach an outcome that meets the security needs of Israel, or maybe if we do not reach an agreement with the current administration, we will have to reach an agreement with the next administration.”
