In regards to the US supplied weapons to the Israeli occupation, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh emphasized the United States does not impose conditions on the usage of such weaponry; however, it does expect "Israel" to use the granted weapons in compliance with international law.

"We don't put conditions on weapons that we're sending or that Israel is using," Singh emphasized, addressing the media. "I wouldn't say it's an end-use monitoring, but we expect them to be used in accordance with the laws."

She noted, however, that the United States is committed to raising concerns about any so-called  "inappropriate use" of its provided weapons with Israeli leaders.

Singh claimed that the Biden administration has persistently emphasized to "Israel" the need to commit to International Humanitarian Law and adhere to proportionality. 

"Dead bodies being under the rubble is considered a time bomb."

In a separate announcement during the same press briefing, White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby addressed concerns about the security of US military bases in the Middle East.

Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported 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."
