WASHINGTON (Dispatches) – 
Washington has reportedly provided $6.5 billion in security assistance to the Zionist regime since it launched its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in early October last year.
Citing an unnamed senior official of U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, The Washington Post reported that almost half of the amount was provided last month alone.
“This is a massive, massive undertaking,” the official said, adding that the figure was announced during discussions between senior White House officials and Zionist war minister Yoav Gallant in Washington this week.
The report said the U.S. official had disclosed the amount “as an indication of the depth and complexity of U.S. support for Israel.”
It further said that the remarks counter claims by Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington had placed “bottlenecks” in its arms flow.
In a video posted to X, Netanyahu alleged that the Biden administration was “withholding” weapons and ammunition bound for Tel Aviv.
The occupying regime waged its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7 following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, almost nine months into the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives in Gaza despite killing at least 37,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring over 86,400 others.
The U.S. remains the regime’s most important ally and biggest supplier of arms. It has provided Israel with weapons and intelligence support during the Gaza war, and blocked UN resolutions calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in the besieged Palestinian territory.
