The Israel Security Assistance Support Act, largely symbolic, faced Democratic dissenters voting with Republicans against Biden's stance on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's military campaign in Gaza.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer dismissed the bill's viability in the Senate, but it highlighted Democratic divisions and Republicans' political positioning as pro-Israel advocates.
The vote showcases the ongoing rift among Democrats regarding the conflict, forcing a choice between backing Israel or supporting Biden, as Republicans position themselves as pro-Israel allies.
