Democrats are reportedly \u201cnot happy\u201d that Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) is pushing for a vote on a war powers resolution to limit U.S. support for Israel\u2019s war on Lebanon, according to an Axios<\/em> report on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The resolution, which is likely to face a vote on Thursday in the House, calls for President Donald Trump to end all U.S. participation in Israeli military operations in Lebanon, including removing U.S. forces and ending any intelligence sharing with Israel in Lebanon. <\/p>\n

But according to lawmakers and aides, this resolution has engendered more opposition within the Democratic Party than Iran war powers resolutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is assisting this destruction [in Lebanon] through the weapons, intelligence, logistics, and diplomatic cover it provides the Israeli government,\u201d Tlaib\u2019s office explained in a press release. <\/p>\n

Tlaib wrote on X on Monday that, \u201cOur country should not be assisting or supporting indiscriminate bombings and forced displacement anywhere, including Lebanon.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Israel\u2019s war on Lebanon is \u201cquickly turning southern Lebanon into the \u2018next Gaza.\u2019\u201d Israel has killed over 3,400 people and displaced over 1.2 million in Lebanon since its latest war on the country began in March. But Israel has been engaged in a lower-scale but longer-term war on the south of the country since 2024. <\/p>\n

On Monday, Iranian state media announced that Iran would be ceasing negotiations with the U.S. due to Israel\u2019s expanded war on Lebanon. Earlier that day, Israel had threatened to bomb the Lebanese capital, Beirut, while expanding its occupation of the south of the country. <\/p>\n

Although Trump said later on Monday that he had spoken to both Hezbollah and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that Beirut would not face strikes, Netanyahu said that Israeli forces \u201cwill continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.\u201d <\/p>\n

The U.S. government, meanwhile, has been working to pressure the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah, pushing for the demilitarization of the one group that has the ability to defend the south from Israel\u2019s incursions. In February, the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East held a hearing entirely focused on dismantling Hezbollah, with Democrats like Brad Sherman saying there is a \u201chistoric opportunity\u201d to disarm Hezbollah in the wake of the genocide in Gaza. But this ignores realities in Lebanon. Beyond the fact that Hezbollah is the sole group with the capability of defending the south from Israel\u2019s occupation, disarming Hezbollah would likely lead to civil war in the country. <\/p>\n

Still, Democrats\u2019 widespread agreement with disarming Hezbollah might be a factor in their seeming opposition to Tlaib\u2019s resolution.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Axios<\/em>, Tlaib said: \u201cPoll after poll shows that the American people do not support our government sending a blank check and unlimited military assistance to the Israeli government as it massacres thousands of innocent civilians and demolishes entire cities and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of Congress should listen to them,\u201d particularly as Israel\u2019s campaign in Lebanon \u201cthreatens to prolong the disastrous war with Iran,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But top Democrats in the House Foreign Affairs, Armed Services and Intelligence Committees are likely to vote no, which will likely sway other Democrats to vote no. <\/p>\n
