POTUS has the power to pause military equipment shipments. Biden did exactly this with Israel, as have a few other presidents in other situations. The current congressional Republicans put forward legislation to prevent POTUS from being able to do that. (I’m not sure whether that bill got anywhere or not.) Biden said he would veto such a bill.
Foreign military aid to Israel is supplied as of the terms of the United States - Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014, a ten year agreement to supply Israel with certain military aid, which was signed by the US and Israel in 2016, and which took effect in 2018. That was passed by Congress. POTUS does not have the power to unilaterally end that agreement; Congress does.
The Arms Export Control Act of 1976 gives the President of the United States the authority to control the import and export of defense articles and defense services.
“The law is clear and aligned with the majority of Americans who believe the U.S. should cease arms shipments to Israel until it stops its military operation in Gaza”
I wish Biden would stop sending weapons to Israel.

False
From the article you linked:
And that’s a different act that strictly applies here. The AECA enables the existence of the US-Israel Strategic Partnership Act.
It also says:
Now, I’m not a lawyer, but these people are and they say:
Biden himself exercised an emergency provision in the law to bypass congress, in order to send more weapons to Israel
Oh, hey, I have seen you before. One of the accelerationists who wants China to expand its influence despite what they are doing to Uyghurs.
