美国众议院的共和党多数派强势推动通过了一项名为“以色列安全援助强化法案”的提案，旨在强制推进对以色列的重型军火运输。此前，拜登政府因顾虑这批包括2000磅炸弹在内的重型武器可能被应用于以色列在加沙地带南部拉法的军事行动，而暂时叫停了交付流程。

此法案以224票赞同对187票反对的显著党派分野获得通过，绝大多数共和党议员支持，而民主党阵营中仅有16人背离，其余均投出反对票。该法案文本严厉批评了“拜登政府暂停对以色列特定武器转移的决定”，正值以色列面临史无前例的安全挑战之际。

He will also address the gathering via video conferencing on the occasion.

As part of the Union budget speech for 2022-23, the Finance Minister had announced the setting up of the 75 Digital Banking Units in 75 districts of the country to commemorate the 75 years of independence of our country.

The Digital Banking Units are being set up with an objective to ensure benefits of digital banking reach every nook and corner of the country and will cover all the States and Union territories, the PMO said.

11 Public Sector Banks, 12 Private Sector Banks and one Small Finance Bank are participating in the endeavour.

DBUs will be brick and mortar outlets which will provide a variety of digital banking facilities to people such as opening of savings account, balance-check, print passbook, transfer of funds, investment in fixed deposits, loan applications, stop-payment instructions for cheques issued, apply for credit / debit cards, view statement of account, pay taxes, pay bills, make nominations etc., the PMO added.

Further, the PMO said that Digital Banking Units will enable customers to have cost effective, convenient access and enhanced digital experience of banking products and services all round the year.

UNI ASU PRT。更进一步，法案提出，若美国未能履行交付延迟的重型武器，将暂停对国防部和国务院的部分资金供给。

尽管该法案被普遍视作象征性举措，其在民主党主导的参议院通过前景渺茫。

C | 投票前夕，拜登总统办公室已明确警告，若法案送达总统案头，将予以否决。白宫声明强烈反对该法案，认为其“妨碍总统有效执行外交政策的能力”，并可能“限制美国灵活调整对以色列安全援助的余地”。

拜登总统早前警示以色列，若其军事行动进一步深入拉法，美国将终止提供武器弹药供应。拉法，这个人口稠密的边境城市，已成为因以哈冲突而流离失所的约140万巴勒斯坦人的避风港。近期，以色列国防军(IDF)通知拉法东南部居民撤离，预告即将来临的袭击。

据统计，截至周二，约45万居民选择离开家园。联合国协调办公室预警，拉法东部、加沙市及贾巴利亚难民营可能遭遇地面入侵及激烈战斗。

根据地方卫生部门数据，自2023年10月7日冲突爆发以来，已导致逾35000名巴勒斯坦人丧生，冲突始于哈马斯袭击以色列，造成约1200名以色列人死亡及250多人被俘。
