TL;DR

The Biden administration has authorized the transfer of over 1,000 500-pound bombs and over 1,000 small-diameter bombs to Israel, adding to its arsenal despite US concerns over the country’s conduct in the war in Gaza. This transfer occurred before an Israeli strike on a humanitarian convoy in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, prompting fresh international condemnation. The US has indicated it does not plan to restrict or condition military aid to Israel, despite public statements expressing concern over Israel's actions. Additionally, the US is preparing to approve an $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel.
