由前众议院议长南希·佩洛西支持、旨在接替她担任加利福尼亚州第11国会选区议员的候选人，呼吁对以色列政府实施“全面武器禁运”。
by former House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to succeed her in California’s 11th congressional district, has called for a “full arms embargo on the Israeli government”.
在周四晚的电视辩论中，距离邮寄选票发送给加利福尼亚选民仅剩几天，陈（Chan）表示，她“入职国会第一天”就会投票“结束加沙的种族灭绝，结束种族隔离国家”。
In a televised debate on Thursday night, days before mail-in ballots are sent to California voters, Chan said that “on day one in Congress” she would vote to “end a genocide in Gaza and to end an apartheid state”.
陈是旧金山监事，在接替佩洛西的竞选中，她面临同党的加利福尼亚州参议员斯科特·维纳（Scott Wiener）。这位86岁的前众议院议长不寻求连任。
Chan, a San Francisco supervisor, faces fellow Democrat and California state Senator Scott Wiener in the race to succeed Pelosi. The former House speaker, 86, is not seeking re-election.
11月的中期选举将决定所有435个众议院席位和35个参议院席位的归属，两党正争夺国会控制权。
All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are at stake in November’s midterm elections, with both parties vying for control of Congress.
在国会山任职期间，佩洛西长期支持以色列，谴责抵制或制裁该国的努力，并投票支持军事援助。
While on Capitol Hill, Pelosi long supported Israel condemning efforts to boycott or sanction the country and voting in favour of military aid.
陈表示人道主义援助必须优先，并告诉辩论主持人她不会支持为以色列“铁穹”导弹防御系统提供资金。
Chan said humanitarian aid must be prioritised and told debate moderators she would not support funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system.
维纳也将以色列对加沙的袭击描述为种族灭绝，并表示他将反对为以色列军队提供资金，以及提供炸弹或进攻性武器。
Wiener has also described Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide and said he would oppose funding for the Israeli military and the provision of bombs or offensive weapons.
维纳说：“在我看来，这个政府，而不仅仅是[以色列总理本雅明·]内塔尼亚胡，是绝对的憎恶，就它对加沙造成的伤害而言，就以色列在约旦河西岸纵容定居者暴力和抢占土地而言。”
“This government, and it’s not just [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, is an absolute abomination, in my view, in terms of what it has inflicted on Gaza, in terms of Israel empowering settler violence and land grabs in the West Bank,” Wiener said.
这场竞选正值国会对美国支持以色列存在分歧之际。几乎所有参院民主党人最近都支持一项未成功的努力，要求国务院就以色列的人权实践提交报告，包括被占约旦河西岸九名美国人被杀事件。
The race comes amid divisions in Congress over US support for Israel. Nearly all Senate Democrats recently backed an unsuccessful effort to require a State Department report on Israel’s human rights practices, including the killings of nine Americans in the occupied West Bank.
本周，几位众议院议员还提出了《停止定居点法案》，该法案将对参与在被占约旦河西岸和加沙建设或扩建非法以色列定居点的个人和实体实施制裁。
This week, several House members also introduced the Stop the Settlements Act, which would impose sanctions on individuals and entities involved in building or expanding illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
