"Israel" has received military aid from the United States worth over $22 billion since October 7, 2023, Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom revealed in a report.

The report indicated that over 10,000 tons of ammunition, valued at $2.4 billion, were initially sent to "Israel", noting that this amount has increased fivefold, reaching 50,000 tons by August 2024.

According to the report, Washington also sent "Israel" a variety of advanced military equipment, including missiles for the Iron Dome defense system, precision-guided bombs, CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, 155mm artillery shells, bunker-buster bombs, and armored vehicles.

Israel Hayom highlighted that the total revenues of "Israel's" three major arms manufacturing companies rose by 15% following the onset of the aggression on Gaza, reaching $13.6 billion.

In late December, Israeli Channel 13 suggested that a prisoner exchange deal and an end to the war on Gaza would not be approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "unless it comes as a directive or clear order from the US president."

The channel added that, so far, it seems "Israel" has not received a clear order from the American president, despite the ongoing losses suffered by the Israeli military.

However, this could change if "Donald Trump assumes power in the White House and tells Netanyahu: Enough. At that point, perhaps we will reach enough," according to the media outlet.

In mid-November, the United States confirmed it will continue its substantial military aid to "Israel", despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has resulted in the killing of more than 45,000 Palestinians.

At the time, the US State Department stated that there were no changes to its policy regarding the weapons flow to "Israel".

Washington's decision came even as "Israel" has ignored a 30-day deadline set by its biggest ally to increase aid to the war-torn Palestinian Gaza Strip.
