In short - and I’ll stop here - isn’t this a question of American sovereignty?

Not IMHO. It is a question of an irresponsible statement by a politician who thinks they can get away with anything. Not one thought on the damage or repercussions of her words.

Israel has a duty to protect its citizens and we have the responsibility to protect ours. No one disputes our sovereignty, but these words are more likely to start a war and foment more violence against Israel than if she had been more careful. The nasty bombast that has come out of the mouths of the DemocRATs for the years I have followed them has grown to Soviet dimensions.

If there is a war to come, it is because these idiots laid the groundwork for it with their hubris.

I agree with you. I don’t know what Feinstein’s motive was or even what she was saying, but by focusing on Israel she wasn’t making my point - that America has to make its own decisions on peace or war, and not delegate them to the leaders of any other country. The problem with the sanctions bill as currently written is that it has language that could be interpreted as such a delegation. Feinstein has zero concern about constitutionalism or sovereignty, witness her support for illegal immigration, so it’s not surprising she didn’t articulate a principled point in this case.
