A measure to prevent any State Department funding from going to Israel failed by a decisive margin in a House vote on Wednesday.
Why it matters: The vote exposed deep divisions among House Democrats, with even the party's top two leaders taking divergent positions.
By the numbers : The amendment to the State Department funding bill ultimately failed in a 104-314 vote, with 10 members voting "present."
Catch up quick: At issue for many Democrats was that the amendment made no carveout to protect non-military funding.
Between the lines: Many Democrats felt political pressure to vote for the measure despite misgivings about its substance.
