超过100名众议院民主党人投票否决向以色列提供数十亿美元军事援助——尽管最终未能成功,但这一投票凸显了其党内在该问题上日益严重的分歧。

周三,103名民主党人投票支持一项由共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出的阻断援助的修正案。马西一直是总统唐纳德·特朗普的批评者,同时对美国对以色列的支持持怀疑态度。另有一名共和党人也联名支持该修正案。但这项提案最终以104票赞成、314票反对被否决。另有98名民主党人投了反对票,10人投了弃权票,即未就该问题表明立场。

就连众议院民主党领导层的前三号人物也在该问题上出现分歧。众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯和众议院民主党党团主席皮特·阿圭勒投了反对票,而众议院少数党鞭凯瑟琳·克拉克投了赞成票。

进步派民主党人庆祝了党内发生的历史性转变:众议院民主党人首次有多数票投票否决向以色列提供数十亿美元军事援助。两年前,在类似的投票中,仅有37名民主党人投票否决对以援助。

“现在请大家好好想想。从今天起,国会大厦内的多数民主党人拒绝投票向以色列军方输送数十亿美元武器,”国会进步核心小组领导人、民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔在投票结束后表示。“这对内塔尼亚胡传递了一个强烈信号:那种不受制约的空白支票式支持他的战争及其战争罪行的日子已经结束了,至少在民主党内部是这样。”

他补充道:“我认为,此次投票后,在这个问题上一切都将不再相同。”

民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔表示,投票进行期间,她与众议员拉希达·特莱布——国会中唯一的巴勒斯坦裔议员——一同反思了这一时刻的意义。

“当我们来到国会时,像今天这样的日子、今天这样的投票,似乎根本不可能发生,”奥马尔说道。

明知道党团内部会在该问题上存在分歧,众议院民主党领导层并未在投票前刻意进行党鞭施压,而是由杰弗里斯鼓励议员们按自己的良心投票。数周以来,民主党议员们私下举行会议,就如何处理此次投票展开了多名议员所称的“家庭式讨论”。

就连投了赞成票的克拉克等支持马西修正案的民主党人也认为,该修正案存在严重缺陷,因为它同时阻断了向加沙巴勒斯坦难民和平民提供的人道主义援助资金。有人认为,这项提案旨在在民主党内部制造分歧。

“这并非试图就对以色列的进攻性军事援助展开严肃且必要的辩论。这不过是国会共和党人的又一场作秀,他们宁愿捞取廉价的政治分数,也不愿发挥领导作用,”克拉克在宣布其投票立场的声明中说道。“然而,显而易见的是,现状已难以为继。我们不应向任何不遵守美国法律、利益和价值观的国家提供空白支票式的军事援助。”

一些民主党人试图淡化这场引发分歧的投票,并将问题归咎于共和党。

“我们一直在为一件原本就永远不会获得通过的事情自乱阵脚。但值得称赞的是哈基姆,他说过要按良心投票,”投了反对票的民主党众议员马克·波坎告诉CNN。

但此次投票也标志着众议院民主党人的立场正在发生变化,该党正努力确定其对美国对以色列外交政策的立场。左翼许多人要求大幅改变政策方向。

“大多数民主党人都有着强烈的积压已久的诉求,希望发出改变对以政策及该地区政策的信号,”投了弃权票、即未就该问题表明正式立场的民主党众议员贾里德·哈夫曼说道。“对我的许多同事而言,马西修正案正是表达这一立场的合适载体。”

Over 100 House Democrats vote to block billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, reflecting growing schism in party

More than 100 House Democrats voted to block billions of dollars in military aid to Israel — an ultimately unsuccessful effort that highlighted the growing division in their party on the issue.

On Wednesday 103 Democrats voted in support of an amendment to block aid that had been proposed by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, a persistent critic of President Donald Trump who has been skeptical of US support for Israel. One Republican also signed on. But the measure ultimately failed 104-314. 98 Democrats voted against it and 10 voted present, meaning they did not weigh in on the issue.

Even the top three lawmakers in House Democratic leadership split on the issue. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar voted against it, while House Minority Whip Katherine Clark voted for it.

Progressive Democrats celebrated the seismic shift in their party where, for the first time, the majority of House Democrats voted to block billions in military aid to Israel. Two years ago, only 37 Democrats voted to block aid to Israel when presented with a similar vote.

“Think about this just for a moment. Starting today, a majority of Democrats in this building refused to vote to send billions of dollars in weapons to the Israeli military,” Democratic Rep. Greg Casar, the leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said following the vote. “That sends a strong message to Netanyahu that the days are over of an unaccountable blank check to his wars and his war crimes, at least from the Democratic Party”

He added: “Nothing will be the same on this issue ever again I think after this vote.”

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar said that as the vote was occurring, she reflected with fellow progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress, about what the moment meant.

“When we got here, a day like today, the kind of vote that was taken today, did not seem possible,” Omar said.

Knowing that their caucus would be divided on the issue, House Democratic leadership intentionally did not whip ahead of the vote, and Jeffries instead encouraged members to vote their conscience. For weeks, Democratic lawmakers have been meeting privately to have “family discussions,” as multiple members described it, about how to approach the vote.

Even Democrats who voted for Massie’s amendment, like Clark, argued it was deeply flawed because it also blocked humanitarian funding for Palestinian refugees and civilians in Gaza. Some argued the measure was designed to drive a wedge among Democrats.

“This is not an attempt to have a serious and necessary debate about offensive military aid to Israel. It’s more stunts from Congressional Republicans who would rather score cheap political points than lead,” Clark said in a statement announcing her vote. “However, it is clear that the status quo is not tenable. We should not provide a blank check for military aid to any country that does not comply with U.S. law, interests, and values.”

Some Democrats sought to downplay the divisive vote and pin the issue back on Republicans.

“We’ve allowed ourselves to tie ourselves up in knots about something that was never, ever going to advance anyway. But to Hakeem’s credit, he said vote your conscience,” Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan, who voted against the measure, told CNN.

But this vote also signals that the ground is shifting for House Democrats as the party grapples with its position on US foreign policy towards Israel. Many on the left are demanding a dramatic change in course.

“There is a tremendous pent-up desire among most Democrats to signal a change in policy towards Israel and in the region,” said Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman, who voted present, meaning he did not take an official position on the matter. “For many of my colleagues this Massie amendment is an appropriate vehicle to make that statement.”
