华盛顿 —— 周三众议院就该议题进行投票时，民主党议员在是否切断对以色列援助问题上出现严重分歧，这标志着该党在支持美国盟友问题上的裂痕再次爆发。
这项修正案由肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出，他一贯反对对外援助，该修正案将取消对以色列的33亿美元援助。马西将这项修正案提交给了众议院周三晚些时候通过的年度国务院拨款法案。
修正案最终以104票赞成、314票反对、10票弃权被否决，其中103名民主党议员投了赞成票，98人反对，10人弃权。马西是唯一一名支持该修正案的共和党议员。
这一议题也导致民主党领导层出现分裂，而他们通常是步调一致的。
周二，众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在致民主党议员的一封信中表示，他反对马西的这项修正案，称其“过于宽泛，会禁止或限制用于人道主义援助、难民安置、和平建设以及美国大使馆运营等长期项目的资金使用”。他表示，该修正案还会限制美国对抗哈马斯和真主党的能力。
但杰弗里斯指出，党内在这一问题上存在“根深蒂固的不同看法”，并表示领导层不会劝说议员按特定方式投票。他还呼吁对美以关系进行“重大调整”。
周三，众议院民主党党鞭马萨诸塞州众议员凯瑟琳·克拉克宣布，她将投票支持削减对以色列的援助，她认为“现状无法维持”。
“我将投赞成票，并非因为我完全认可这项修正案，或是共和党推动该提案的愤世动机，而是因为我认为我们必须改变路线。尽管民主党议员会基于诚意做出不同的投票决定，但我们在追求永久和平的共同目标上绝对团结一致，”她在一份声明中说道。
此次投票之际，民主党候选人对以色列的立场成为该党初选的关键考验。最近几周，多名一贯支持以色列的在任民主党议员在初选中输给了强烈批评美国盟友的进步派挑战者。
国会进步党团主席、得克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔承认，有人担忧该修正案会取消人道主义援助，但他表示“反对向以色列军方提供数十亿美元资金才是这里最重要的事情”。
“尽管这项修正案并非我们运动的完美载体，但有史以来首次有更多民主党议员投票反对向本杰明·内塔尼亚胡政府拨款，”卡萨尔在投票后的一份声明中说道。“这对数百万要求终止美国纳税人资助以色列军方战争罪行的美国人来说是一场胜利。”

Washington — House Democrats were sharply divided on whether to cut off aid to Israel during a floor vote on the issue Wednesday, marking the latest flashpoint in the party’s rift over support for the U.S. ally.
The amendment — which was introduced by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who has consistently opposed foreign aid — would have eliminated $3.3 billion in assistance to Israel. Massie submitted the amendment to the annual State Department appropriations bill that the House passed later Wednesday.
The amendment failed in a 104-314-10 vote, with 103 Democrats voting in favor, 98 voting against and 10 voting present. Massie was the sole Republican to support it.
The issue also split Democratic leaders, who are usually in lockstep.
In a letter to House Democrats on Tuesday, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he opposed Massie’s measure, calling it “overly broad in that it prohibits or would limit the use of funds for longstanding initiatives related to humanitarian aid, refugee resettlement, peace-building and U.S. Embassy operations.” He said it would also restrict the United States’ ability to confront Hamas and Hezbollah.
But Jeffries noted the “strongly held views” within the party on the issue and said leaders would not persuade members to vote a certain way. He also called for a “major reset” between the U.S. and Israel.
On Wednesday, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts announced she would vote to strip aid from Israel, arguing “the status quo is not tenable.”
“I will be voting yes, not because I agree with the entirety of the amendment, or the GOP’s cynical motivations for its consideration, but because I believe we must change course. While Democratic members will make different decisions on this amendment in good faith, we are absolutely united in our shared goal of permanent peace,” she said in a statement.
The vote comes as Democratic candidates’ stances on Israel have been a key test in the party’s primaries. In recent weeks, several incumbent Democrats, who have been supportive of Israel, lost their primaries to progressive challengers who have been highly critical of the U.S. ally.
Democratic Rep. Greg Casar of Texas, the chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, acknowledged concerns about the amendment eliminating humanitarian aid, but said that “opposing the billions in military funding is what’s most important here.”
“More Democrats than ever before voted to stop sending money to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, despite the fact that this amendment was an imperfect vehicle for our movement,” Casar said in a statement after the vote. “That is a victory for the millions of Americans who have demanded an end to US taxpayer support for the Israeli military’s war crimes.”
