U.S. officials warned Netanyahu military aids would not improve

Talks between Israel and the United States on a new military aid package have become stuck as the two sides try to strong-arm one another, Zionist paper Haaretz revealed on Sunday.

The current American aid package to Israel is set to expire in 2017, and in November it was reported that Israel made an initial request for its annual defense aid to increase to as much as $5 billion.

Israel wants $5 billion per year in military aid for 10 years, for a total of $50 billion, congressional aides said at the time.

But on Sunday, Zionist Regime's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting that if Israel's security needs would not be met, he would not sign a deal and would instead wait for the next president to take office in January 2017.

According to Haaretz, senior U.S. officials reacted angrily and warned that the budgetary situation would not improve, and that Israel would not get a better deal with the next president.

"Israel is of course free to wait for the next administration to finalize a new MOU [memorandum of understanding] should it not be satisfied with such a pledge, but we would caution that the U.S. budgetary environment is unlikely to improve in the next 1-2 years and Israel will certainly not find a president more committed to Israel's security than is President Obama," a U.S. official warned the newspaper.

According to the official Israel currently receives over 50 percent of the total foreign military aid the U.S. provides around the globe.
