Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

Ah yes, giving Netanyahu even more bombs is totally the right way to bring about a ceasefire and definitely won't just lead to more Palestinians getting blown up.
