The US has transferred security related aid totaling some $6.5 billion to Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, The Washington Post reports, citing an American official.
The unnamed official says almost half of that was provided last month.
The report indicates the official was seeking to counter charges of insufficient US backing for Israel amid the conflict.
“This is a massive, massive undertaking,” they say, noting that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and his teams sat down with American officials and went over the “hundreds of separate items” sent to Israel during their visit to Washington this week.
