联邦众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特茨周二表示,她将投票反对向以色列提供任何军事援助,包括防御性物资,这与这位被视为2028年总统竞选潜在候选人的民主党人的立场形成显著转变。
奥卡西奥-科特茨的发言人告诉CNN,她周二在纽约市民主社会主义者组织分会的活动中表示,将对任何针对以色列的军事援助拨款投反对票。
《城市与政坛》(City & State)最先报道了她的此番言论,其发表于一场私人论坛上,当时该分会成员正在考虑是否支持她的连任竞选。
此番表态正值民主党对以色列政府以及亲以色列游说团体采取更为尖锐批评立场之际,这些游说团体已斥巨资反对那些支持对以色列援助附加条件的民主党候选人。
但该党多位知名官员仍在纠结如何表达批评。加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆上月收回了他此前称以色列“有点像种族隔离国家”的言论。他后来告诉《政客》杂志,他本意是想表达担忧,称在本杰明·内塔尼亚胡总理纵容的极右翼势力主导下,以色列可能会走上这条道路。
奥卡西奥-科特茨一直是众议院中对以色列批评最尖锐的议员之一,不过多年来她对防御性援助的立场曾有所动摇。2021年,她就一项为以色列导弹防御系统“铁穹”追加拨款的法案投了“弃权”票,并表示反对该法案。2024年,奥卡西奥-科特茨与一众进步派议员联名签署一封信,称他们反对向以色列运送攻击性武器,但“支持强化‘铁穹’及其他防御系统”。
奥卡西奥-科特茨周三在一份声明中表示,需要军事援助的盟友“必须明白,我们将依据《莱希修正案》提供援助”,该修正案禁止向犯下侵犯人权行为的外国安全部队提供援助。以色列否认人权组织提出的其在哈马斯10月7日袭击后在加沙犯下种族灭绝罪的指控。
“我认为以色列政府有足够能力为‘铁穹’系统提供资金,该系统已被证明对保护无辜平民免受火箭弹袭击和轰炸至关重要,”她在声明中说道。“结合我迄今为止的投票记录,我不会支持国会向一个持续无视国际法和美国法律的政府拨付更多纳税人资金和军事援助。”
Ocasio-Cortez says she’ll vote against any military aid to Israel, including for Iron Dome system

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday she would vote against sending any military aid to Israel, including defensive supplies, a marked shift from a Democrat deemed a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
Ocasio-Cortez told members of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America Tuesday that she would commit to voting no on any military aid spending for Israel, a spokesperson for the lawmaker told CNN.
Her remarks, first reported by City & State, were made at a private forum as members considered whether to endorse her re-election bid.
Her comments come at a time when the Democratic Party is taking on a more critical stance toward the Israeli government and pro-Israel lobbying groups that have spent millions against Democratic candidates who support conditioning aid to Israel.
But many of the party’s best-known officials are still grappling with how to raise their criticisms. California Gov. Gavin Newsom last month backtracked on his recent comments describing Israel as “sort of an apartheid state.” He later told Politico that he meant to say he was concerned Israel would go down that path under the “direction of the far right that [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] is indulging.”
Ocasio-Cortez has been one of Israel’s sharpest critics in the House, though her approach to defensive aid has wavered over the years. In 2021, she voted “present” on a bill for additional funding for Israel’s Iron Dome, its missile defense system, and said she opposed it. In 2024, Ocasio-Cortez signed onto a letter with progressive lawmakers who said they opposed sending offensive weapons to Israel but “support strengthening the Iron Dome and other defense systems.”
In a statement Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez said allies who need military aid “must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment,” which prohibits sending assistance to foreign security units that have committed human rights violations. Israel has denied allegations from human rights groups that it has committed genocide in Gaza in the wake of Hamas’ October 7 attacks.
“I believe the Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment,” she said in the statement. “Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and US law.”
