WASHINGTON — The Senate overwhelmingly approved a Middle East policy bill on Tuesday that included both a rebuke to President Trump over his withdrawal of troops from Syria and Afghanistan and a contested measure to allow state and municipal governments to punish companies that boycott, divest from or place sanctions on Israel.
The measure, which passed 77 to 23, started as the kind of routine policy bill that passes the Senate with little to no opposition. It reauthorizes at least $3.3 billion in military financing to Israel and extends security aid to Jordan, imposes new sanctions on individuals who provide support to the Syrian government and directs the Treasury Department to determine whether the Central Bank of Syria is engaged in money laundering.
“This represents the broad consensus of this body about our nation’s responsibilities as an ally and a partner,” Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, said on Tuesday.
But the late inclusions of the anti-boycott, divest and sanction — or anti-B.D.S. — provision and an amendment by Mr. McConnell reproaching the president for a “precipitous withdrawal” of troops from Syria and Afghanistan raised some concerns in both parties.
