White House denies it will curb aid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe White House denies it will curb US aid to Israel in response to a bitter fight over Netanyahu’s bid to scuttle negotiations with Iran.
As Netanyahu visits Washington to make the case against a looming deal with Tehran — Obama’s top foreign policy goal — the White House seeks to quell reports that vast US military aid could be cut as a result.
Israeli media has suggested the Obama administration could trim some of the roughly $100 billion in existing aid and drag its feet on requests for more help with defensive programs like the Magic Wand missile intercept systems and the Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile.
“The report is false,” says Nation Security spokesperson Bernadette Meehan.
