WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected two disapproval resolutions brought by Sen. Bernie Sanders to block proposed arms sales to Israel, voting 40-59 against a measure aimed at armored bulldozers and 36-63 against a measure targeting 1,000-pound bombs, thereby preserving the pending transfers this week. The votes left existing approvals intact and prompted statements from Democrats and Republicans: Republicans opposed the measures en masse, several Democrats joined Sanders to register dissent, and senators including Chris Coons emphasized support for Israel while distinguishing votes on U.S. military action; Democrats said they would continue introducing similar measures in coming weeks to record positions.

参议院的决定影响着美以关系和我们的国家安全。它也关系到你的税金,因为这些武器的转让是由税金资助的。密切关注你的参议员在这些问题上的投票。这揭示了他们对外交政策和军费开支的立场。
参议院已维持向以色列移交武器的未决事项。尽管存在一些反对意见,但多数人支持这些交易。民主党人计划继续提出类似的措施。这是与对美国外交政策和军费开支感兴趣的朋友讨论的一个关键问题。
以色列军方保留了已获批的美国设备转让,保持了对装甲推土机和弹药的即时获取,而供应这些系统的美国国防承包商则继续从维持的销售渠道中获益。
进步派立法者和活动家试图阻止转移的企图在立法上受挫,而加沙、黎巴嫩和其他冲突地区的平民则继续面临与持续军事行动相关的风险。
