The Biden administration has authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite concerns from Washington about a probable military operation in southern Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The weapons package includes more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A State Department official told Fox News Digital that \u2018fulfilling an authorization from one notification to Congress can result in dozens of individual Foreign Military Sales cases across the decades-long life-cycle of the congressional notification.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As a matter of practicality, major procurements, like Israel\u2019s F-35 program for example, are often broken out into several cases over many years,\u2019 the official added.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House and the Pentagon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday that Israel hasn\u2019t received all the military arms it has requested as its fight with Hamas intensifies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Although we\u2019ve been supporting them with capability, they\u2019ve not received everything they\u2019ve asked for,\u2019 he said. \u2018Some of that is because they\u2019ve asked for stuff that we either don\u2019t have the capacity to provide or not willing to provide, not right now.\u2019<\/p>\n

News of the military assistance to Israel comes as the Biden administration has voiced concerns over Israel\u2019s managing of the war, which has killed thousands and displaced many of the residents of the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We have continued to support Israel\u2019s right to defend itself,\u2019 a White House official told the Post. \u2018Conditioning aid has not been our policy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Some Democrats have called for Biden to withhold aid without an Israeli commitment to put measures in place to limit civilian casualties in Rafath, a Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The issue has caused a rift in U.S.-Israeli relations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a visit by a delegation to Washington this week after the U.S. refused to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution that called for a temporary cease-fire in Gaza and the release of hostages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The resolution did not condemn Hamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, progressives angry with Biden\u2019s support for Israel have voiced their displeasure with him at every turn. During his multi-million dollar fundraiser in New York City on Thursday, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside Radio City Music Hall to call for an end to Israeli aid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside the venue, several protesters interrupted the festivities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
