This comes as several US reports over the past few days have highlighted that the US was struggling to influence Israeli policy in its aggression against Gaza.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing documents reviewed by the newspapers, that the Biden administration is preparing a significant $320 million transfer of precision bombs for "Israel."

On October 31, the administration officially notified congressional leaders about the intended transfer of Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies, a category of precision-guided munitions launched by aircraft, as per documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

This comes as several US reports over the past few days have highlighted that the US was claiming struggling to influence Israeli policy in its aggression against Gaza.

Some reports even stated that divisions were beginning to surface within Biden's Democratic party over the war on Gaza.

The reality however is that the US has tremendous leverage over "Israel."

After an Israeli minister issued controversial statements calling for the Gaza strip to be nuked, he was immediately reprimanded by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu due to the negative impact it had of "Israel's" and the US' reputation.

Were it not for the fear of admonishment, Netanyahu would have dismissed the matter.

Earlier today, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Washington was working "very aggressively" to ensure massive aid is entered into Gaza for its civilians.
