First of all, Biden hasn't sent any weapons to Israel since October 7. And he's not planning to send "guns and bombs", he is asking Congress for anti-missile systems accompanied by humanitarian aid for Gaza. Which I think is appropriate.
Second, I don't think Bibi interpreted that as a blank check. I think Bibi is an idiot who doesn't care what Biden thinks. In a follow-up speech on 10/19, Biden had much more to say:
However, Israel is a sovereign country and unfortunately isn't taking orders from the US. The US is trying its usual approach of attempting to bribe a foreign government into better behavior, but success is hardly guaranteed.
How dare you come in here with your facts! /s
(Thanks)
They've definitely sent ammunition.
