White phosphorus is traditionally used for the smoke as concealment. Israel used it as a weapon. While the U.S. government definitely has blood on its hands, I don’t think the intention was to supply obvious internationally banned munitions to Israel.
Oh there’s no doubt the people sending them have blindfolds on but I’m sure the ‘munitions’ are being sent in cannisters meant for concealment and are being tampered with by Israel after to be a war crime. I don’t think the United States is sending them “war crime ready”. Not a big difference of course but noteworthy I guess.
I’m pretty sure there isn’t any tampering needed to be done. It just depends on what your target is. Are you targeting people or open terrain? They are already “war crime ready”, and will be used for war crimes if you give them to war criminals.
Now that there’s evidence it’s been used for this, the US can no longer use this excuse. If they don’t stop selling these munitions to Israel now then it’s definitely intentional.

Or at least I hope not.
Israel has been using white phosphorus for decades. There’s no way the US didn’t know about this.
