What it is
קמח לבן is refined white wheat flour. קמח רב תכליתי is the clearest everyday choice for a US recipe that calls for all-purpose flour.
The difference
White flour is a broad description, not one fixed specification. The protein figure and stated use can differ between bags.
Common mistake
Do not assume Israel lacks all-purpose flour or that every bag marked לבן has the same strength.
