Former US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel has publicly called for the United States to cease all military aid and financial assistance to Israel. He argued that Israel should be treated like other key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, the UK, and Germany, paying full price for any defense purchases. Emanuel stated that while Israel could buy what it wants, it must abide by US laws. This statement represents a significant public break from the long-standing US policy of providing substantial aid to Israel.
