Biden did not bypass Congress in the sense that Congress would have in any way blocked it, just slightly increased the speed that it happened. What was sold in that deal (anti tank missiles) are not being used in Palestine but are a deterrent for Israel against Iran escalating due to isreals deplorable genocide. The headlines make it seem like anti personal weapons to be used in their genocide but that's not what those are but no one ever thinks about any nuance at all or (gasp) reads the articles.
The deal was tank and mortar shells. The primary ammo used to destroy buildings and commit Genocide with in Gaza. Not anti tank missles.

They are anti tank shells. Click bait reporting just says tank shells to make people think exactly what you are claiming. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/09/1218407156/israel-tank-ammunition-sale-gaza-congress-state-department

120 mm High Explosive Anti-Tank Multi-Purpose with Tracer tank cartridges
a) They are M830 tank shells
These are the tank shells that israel uses in Gaza to blow up buildings and commit Genocide with in Gaza (and burn israelis to crisps in Kibbutzes). An anti-tank round means it's strong enough to blow up a tank, not that it can only blow up tanks.
b) Those are shells not missles. Anti Tank missiles imply something like a ATGMs.
