Incorrect, he was holding back shipments purposefully, this forces shipments to begin again and while he could veto it given the overwhelming support it would have bought a couple days at best and if you read both of those articles it's very clear that that would have been the outcome.

The act is not expected to become law, but its passage underscored the deep U.S. election-year divide over Israel policy

"It is not a serious effort at legislation, which is why some of the most pro-Israel members of the House Democratic caucus will be voting no," House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries told a news conference before the vote.

This was just a house vote, you know it would need to pass the senate too before a veto and it didn't even win with a veto-overriding majority in the house.. Really not sure where you're getting the idea that this actually forces Biden's hand in any way
