- 该修正案原本将阻止每年33亿美元的美国安全援助拨款
- 该法案基本不具实际效力，因为特朗普很可能会否决它
华盛顿7月15日（路透社）——美国众议院周三否决了一项切断对以色列援助的修正案，尽管近半数民主党议员投了支持票，这反映出美国进步派与以色列在其对加沙的军事行动问题上日益加剧的分歧。
众议院以314票对104票否决了这项由肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出的、作为国务院拨款法案修正案的提案。

然而，有103名民主党议员和1名共和党议员投了赞成票，这与过去多年以色列相关法案几乎全票通过的情况形成鲜明反差。左翼民主党议员正在中期选举初选期间推动终止对以色列的援助，而温和派民主党议员则主张仅拨款用于防御性武器。
马西是一名反对所有对外援助的财政鹰派人士，但他表示，他也是在回应以色列对加沙军事行动造成的平民重大伤亡。“加沙已有7万人伤亡，我认为我们不应卷入其中，”他在众议院辩论期间说道。
他的修正案原本将禁止拨款法案中的任何资金用于以色列，并阻止美国每年向以色列提供的33亿美元安全援助。
根据以色列的统计数据，2023年10月7日，哈马斯领导的武装人员越过边境袭击以色列，造成1200人死亡。加沙卫生部门表示，以色列随后对加沙地带发起的军事行动已造成超过7.3万名巴勒斯坦人死亡。
加沙大部分地区已沦为废墟。加沙近200万人口中的绝大多数已经流离失所数次，如今仅生活在沿海狭长地带的一小片区域，主要居住在临时帐篷或受损建筑中。
对以色列的态度转变
即便众议院通过了该修正案，周三的投票结果也基本不具实际效力。要成为法律，该提案必须在参议院获得通过，并且还要推翻总统唐纳德·特朗普几乎肯定会行使的否决权。特朗普此前已将支持以色列作为其外交政策的核心内容。
对以色列的军事援助，以及以色列支持者向美国政客提供的政治竞选捐款，今年一直是民主党内部的争议焦点。
美国政界领导人对以色列的批评标志着态度的巨大转变。马西的修正案旨在切断2016年美以谅解备忘录中规定的年度拨款，该备忘录有效期至2028年。
2016年9月，众议院以405票对4票通过了一项支持该谅解备忘录的决议。
多位候选人以一系列进步议题作为竞选纲领，包括反对以色列对加沙的军事行动，甚至质疑以色列的生存权，并因此爆冷获胜。
这一问题也导致民主党领导层出现分裂。众议院民主党领袖、纽约州众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯周二表示，他将反对马西的修正案，称其“过于宽泛”。
但在周三，众议院民主党二号人物、马萨诸塞州众议员凯瑟琳·克拉克表示，她将支持该修正案。“我们不应为任何不遵守美国法律、利益和价值观的国家的军事援助提供空白支票，”她在一份声明中说道。
上个月，颇具影响力的众议员阿德里亚诺·埃斯皮纳尔在纽约州民主党初选中落败，输给了美国民主社会主义者成员达丽亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃。后者得到了同样自称民主社会主义者的纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼的支持。
8月4日，密歇根州选民将提名美国参议院、众议院和州长职位的候选人，该州将就美以关系展开辩论，以色列在民主党中的形象将再次受到考验。

US House defeats bid to cut off Israel aid in vote dividing Democrats

The U.S. flag flies at half staff outside of the U.S. Capitol building the morning after U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died “from a brief and sudden illness,” in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 12, 2026. REUTERS/Leah Millis Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab
- Summary
- Amendment would have blocked $3.3 billion in annual US security assistance
- Measure largely symbolic because Trump would likely have vetoed it
WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives defeated an amendment to cut off aid to Israel on Wednesday, despite nearly half of Democrats supporting it, reflecting a growing rupture between U.S. progressives and Israel over its attacks in Gaza.
The House voted 314 to 104 to defeat the measure, offered as an amendment to a State Department spending bill by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

However, 103 Democrats and one Republican backed it, a sharp departure from years in which bills supporting Israel passed almost unanimously. Left-wing Democrats are pushing to end U.S. aid to Israel as they campaign in midterm election primaries, while moderate Democrats promote sending money that would be used for defensive weapons only.
Massie is a fiscal hawk who opposes all foreign aid, but he said he was also responding to the heavy toll on civilians of Israel’s attacks in Gaza. “There have been 70,000 casualties in Gaza and I don’t think we should be part of that,” he said during House debate.
His amendment would have barred any funding in the appropriations bill from being used for Israel, and blocked $3.3 billion in annual security assistance Washington sends Israel.
Hamas-led fighters killed 1,200 people during a cross-border attack into Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli tallies. The Gaza health ministry said Israel’s subsequent offensive on the Strip killed more than 73,000 Palestinians.
Much of the enclave lies in ruin. Nearly all of Gaza’s 2 million people, most of whom have been displaced several times, now live on a tiny strip of land along the coast, mainly in makeshift tents or damaged buildings.
SHIFTING VIEWS ON ISRAEL
Wednesday’s vote would have been largely symbolic even if the House had backed the amendment. To become law, it would have had to pass the Senate and override an almost certain veto by President Donald Trump, who has made support for Israel a central piece of his foreign policy.
Military aid to Israel, and U.S. political campaign contributions from Israel’s backers to candidates, have been a flashpoint for Democrats this year.
Criticism of Israel by U.S. political leaders marks a dramatic shift. Massie’s amendment sought to cut off annual funding included in a 2016 Memorandum of Understanding with Israel, which is effective until 2028.
In September 2016, the House voted 405 to 4 in favor of a resolution supporting that MOU.
Candidates have scored upset wins by running on a range of progressive issues, including opposition to Israel’s attacks in Gaza and even questioning the country’s right to exist.
The issue has also divided party leaders. Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the House Democratic leader, said on Tuesday he would oppose Massie’s amendment, saying it was “too broad.”
But on Wednesday, No. 2 House Democrat, Representative Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, said she would support it. “We should not provide a blank check for military aid to any country that does not comply with U.S. law, interests, and values,” she said in a statement.
Last month, influential Representative Adriano Espaillat lost in a New York Democratic primary to Democratic Socialists of America member Darializa Avila Chevalier. She had the backing of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who also identifies as a democratic socialist.
Israel’s standing with Democrats will be tested again on August 4, when Michigan voters nominate candidates running for U.S. Senate, the U.S. House and governor as the state debates U.S. relations with Israel.
