President Donald Trump has signed a new defense budget into law, providing over $4 billion in security support for Israel. The legislation continues longstanding aid commitments and boosts funding for joint defense technology projects, including missile defense, counter-drone, and anti-tunnel initiatives. Additional funds are allocated for economic cooperation and peacebuilding efforts in the region. The law also introduces new restrictions, barring United States funding for several international organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, the International Criminal Court, and the United Nations Human Rights Council's Commission of Inquiry on Israel. The measure was enacted swiftly after congressional approval to ensure continued government funding.
