Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News host, has criticized President Donald Trump's announcement to halt $4 billion in aid to Israel.
What happened
Kilmeade reacted to the decision during a simulcast of the Fox Business Network's 'Varney & Co.' and Fox News Radio's 'Brian Kilmeade Show', stating that he does not understand why the US would give in to Democratic demands to cut off aid to Israel, a key ally in the region.
Kilmeade noted that Israel's economy has been growing, despite being at war for the past four years, and questioned the reasoning behind the decision to halt aid.
He also referenced a previous statement by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who had suggested that Israel would need to rely on itself for weapons manufacturing and purchasing if Democrats were to take power in the US.
