美国众议员罗·康纳周一敦促民主党人，在国会大选后的“跛脚鸭”会期中，将旨在整合美以军队的国防法案条款删除列为“首要任务”。
US Congressman Ro Khanna on Monday urged Democrats to make removing a provision in the defense bill aimed at integrating the US and Israeli militaries a “top priority” during Congress’s post-election lame-duck session.
“作为一名美国人，我对第219条将我们的军队与以色列军队整合在一起感到愤怒。他们以为自己是谁？”康纳在发布于美国社交媒体平台的视频信息中说。“这需要成为跛脚鸭会期的首要任务，”他补充道。
“As an American, I am outraged by Section 219 that integrates our military with Israel’s. Who do they think they are?”Khanna said in a video message posted on the US social media platform“This needs to be the top priority in the lame duck session,” he added.
“我正在推动每一位民主党人及我们的领导层，将第219条从我们的国防法案中删除，”这位来自加利福尼亚州的民主党众议员表示。
“I am pushing every Democrat and our leadership to get Section 219 out of our defense bill,” said the California Democrat.
题为“美以国防技术合作倡议”的第219条，是2027财年《国防授权法案》（NDAA）众议院版本的一部分。该条款将要求国防部长指定一名“执行代理人”，以扩大并加速与以色列在国防技术研究、开发、测试、评估及产业合作方面的双边合作。
Section 219, titled the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” is part of the House version of the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It would require the secretary of defense to designate an “executive agent” to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation and industrial cooperation with Israel.
众议院军事委员会于6月否决了康纳提出的、旨在删除该条款的修正案，当时该条款编号为第224条。随后，众议院规则委员会阻止了康纳与共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出的、旨在删除该条款的两党修正案在全院进行表决。
The House Armed Services Committee rejected an amendment from Khanna to strike the provision in June, when it was numbered Section 224. The House Rules Committee later blocked a floor vote on a bipartisan amendment from Khanna and Republican Congressman Thomas Massie to remove it.
众议院于7月22日以216票对212票通过了这项1.15万亿美元的法案，205名民主党议员投了反对票。包含类似条款的参议院版本尚未通过。
The House passed the $1.15 trillion bill on July 22 by a 216-212 vote, with 205 Democrats voting against it. The Senate version, which includes a similar provision, has not passed.
康纳的这一推动，是在特朗普总统上周表示美国将在今年年底前停止向以色列提供约40亿美元的年度军事援助之后出现的。特朗普称，这笔援助已成为民主党用来攻击共和党的“谈资”。
Khanna’s push came after President Donald Trump said last week that the US would stop providing about $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of this year, saying the aid had become a “talking point” Democrats used against Republicans.
盖洛普民调今年显示，在其追踪记录中，首次有更多美国人同情巴勒斯坦人而非以色列人，此前以色列对加沙发动了为期两年的种族灭绝战争，据巴勒斯坦方面统计，已造成7.4万多名巴勒斯坦人死亡、17.5万多人受伤。
It also came as a Gallup poll showed this year that, for the first time in its tracking, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis following Israel’s two-year genocidal war on Gaza, which killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured more than 175,000, according to Palestinian figures.
