Watch: There is ethnic cleansing in areas of the West Bank, says Miliband The UK has announced sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, accusing Israel's government of turning a blind eye to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians by settlers.
观察:米利班德说,西岸地区存在种族清洗 英国宣布对被占领约旦河西岸的以色列非法定居点实施制裁,指责以色列政府对定居者对巴勒斯坦人的“种族清洗”视而不见。
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said the move marked the "beginning of a new approach" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which "not only calls out injustice and suffering but acts".
外交大臣埃德·米利班德表示,此举标志着解决以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突“新方法的开始”,“不仅呼吁不公正和痛苦,而且采取行动”。
Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar responded by accusing him of spreading an "outrageous lie" and announced counter-measures including shutting the UK's consulate in East Jerusalem.
以色列外交部长吉迪恩·萨尔回应称,他散布“令人发指的谎言”,并宣布了包括关闭英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆在内的反制措施。
The UK sanctions will ban settlement goods but also act against companies and individuals providing services for settlement expansion.
英国的制裁将禁止定居点货物,但也会针对为定居点扩张提供服务的公司和个人。
In West Bank, date farmers weigh impact of UK sanctions on Israeli settlers How Israel is expanding settlements in drive to reshape West Bank The sanctions were launched alongside France and Canada, which in a joint statement with the UK said the action "marks a further turning point in our approach to protecting the two-state solution".
在西岸,枣农权衡英国制裁对以色列定居者的影响 以色列如何扩大定居点以重塑西岸 这些制裁是与法国和加拿大一起发起的,法国和加拿大在与英国的联合声明中表示,这一行动“标志着我们保护两国解决方案的方法的进一步转折点”。
Settlements are illegal under international law, and there has been a rise in violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank by settlers in recent months.
根据国际法,定居点是非法的,近几个月来,定居者对西岸巴勒斯坦人的暴力行为有所增加。
In a statement to MPs, Miliband said: "The British government agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank, perpetrated by settler terrorists.
米利班德在给国会议员的一份声明中说:“英国政府同意定居恐怖分子在西岸地区对巴勒斯坦人进行种族清洗。
"And all too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this and worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians."
“以色列政府常常对此视而不见,更糟糕的是,其成员发表声明并采取行动支持巴勒斯坦人被迫流离失所。”
He said ethnic cleansing was defined by the UN as a "purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent means another ethnic or religious group from certain areas".
他说,联合国将种族清洗定义为“一个民族或宗教团体制定的有目的的政策,以暴力手段将另一个民族或宗教团体驱逐出某些地区”。
Miliband said the official view of the government was that the Israeli occupation of the West Bank was unlawful because of the "entrenchment of its control, its intention to extend permanent sovereignty, and its expansionist agenda via illegal settlements".
米利班德表示,政府的官方观点是,以色列对约旦河西岸的占领是非法的,因为“其控制的巩固、扩大永久主权的意图以及通过非法定居点的扩张主义议程”。
He said this position, which is in line with a 2024 advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, should be reflected in the UK's "economic relationship" with the occupied West Bank.
他表示,这一立场与国际法院2024年的咨询意见一致,应反映在英国与被占领约旦河西岸的“经济关系”中。
As a result, over the next six to nine months, the UK will introduce "a new comprehensive sanctions regime", he said.
他表示,因此,在未来六到九个月内,英国将推出“新的全面制裁制度”。
The foreign secretary also announced a ban on advertising illegal West Bank settlements in the UK.
外交大臣还宣布禁止在英国为非法西岸定居点做广告。
"The sanctions regime will target illegal settlements and settlement expansion, not Israel," Miliband added.
米利班德补充说:“制裁制度将针对非法定居点和定居点扩张,而不是以色列。”
Later on Tuesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the targeted measures were "aimed not at the Israeli people, but in support of the two-state solution".
周二晚些时候,总理安迪·伯纳姆表示,这些有针对性的措施“不是针对以色列人民,而是为了支持两国解决方案”。
Announcing the closure of the consulate - which represents the UK government in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza - Israel's Foreign Minister Saar said at a press conference: "We know that we have many friends in Britain.
以色列外交部长萨尔在新闻发布会上宣布关闭代表英国政府驻耶路撒冷、约旦河西岸和加沙的领事馆:“我们知道我们在英国有很多朋友。
"Unfortunately, we have a hostile Labour government that is consistently operating against the State of Israel, and it has left us no choice but to respond to its hostile actions."
“不幸的是,我们有一个敌对的工党政府,它一直对以色列国采取行动,这让我们别无选择,只能对其敌对行动做出回应。”
He added that 11 UK MPs, including Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and all five sitting Green Party MPs, would be banned from entering Israel, accusing them of "antisemitic and anti-Israel activity".
他补充说,包括杰里米·科尔宾、黛安·阿博特和所有五名现任绿党议员在内的 11 名英国议员将被禁止进入以色列,指责他们从事“反犹太主义和反以色列活动”。
The UK also issued a joint statement with 11 other countries; France, Canada, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.
英国还与其他11个国家发表了联合声明;法国、加拿大、丹麦、西班牙、芬兰、爱尔兰、冰岛、挪威、波兰、葡萄牙和瑞典。
It said the group was unequivocally committed to the two-state solution and would introduce national measures or support European restrictions on trading goods with West Bank settlements.
声明称,该组织明确致力于两国解决方案,并将采取国家措施或支持欧洲对与西岸定居点进行货物贸易的限制。
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced the measures on Tuesday The UK announcement comes after Israel opened up tenders for the construction of some 1,200 settlement homes in the so-called E1 area - a strategically important area east of Jerusalem.
外交大臣埃德·米利班德周二宣布了这些措施 英国宣布这一消息之前,以色列已在所谓的 E1 地区(耶路撒冷以东具有重要战略意义的地区)公开招标建造约 1,200 套定居点房屋。
The plans have drawn widespread international condemnation.
这些计划引起了国际社会的广泛谴责。
Israel has held off on plans to build in the area for decades under global pressure.
在全球压力下,以色列几十年来一直推迟在该地区的建设计划。
Miliband told the Commons the UK's "new approach" was necessary because plans for the E1 development in the West Bank would render a two-state solution "unviable" by "cutting through the heart of Palestine".
米利班德告诉下议院,英国的“新方法”是必要的,因为西岸的E1开发计划将“穿过巴勒斯坦的中心”,从而使两国解决方案“不可行”。
Elsewhere, he said the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the Gaza war, carried "terrible echoes of the centuries of persecution of the Jewish people" and stressed Israel had "the right to protect its people and defend its territory". However, he added, "that cannot justify what has happened in Gaza". He said: "International humanitarian law imposes clear rules for states fighting wars, including to ensure access to food and medical supplies, to avoid mass displacement of civilians, and to avoid the targeting of civilians.
在其他地方,他表示,哈马斯领导的 2023 年 10 月 7 日对以色列南部的袭击引发了加沙战争,“对犹太人民几个世纪以来遭受的迫害产生了可怕的回响”,并强调以色列“有权保护其人民并捍卫其领土”。 然而,他补充说,“这不能证明加沙发生的事情是合理的”。 他说:“国际人道法为战争国家制定了明确的规则,包括确保获得粮食和医疗用品、避免平民大规模流离失所以及避免将平民作为攻击目标。
Serious and international violations of this law, if proven, amount to war crimes.
国际上严重违反该法的行为一旦得到证实,就构成战争罪。
"What has occurred, including the actions of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), have been examined in depth by a number of organisations, including the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry.
“包括联合国独立国际调查委员会在内的许多组织已经对所发生的事情,包括以色列国防军的行动进行了深入调查。
"The conclusions of these reports represent increasing evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed, and we support legal processes to determine this."
“这些报告的结论提供了越来越多的证据表明战争罪似乎已经犯下,我们支持确定这一点的法律程序。”
He added it was up to international courts to determine if Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. Israel's leaders have consistently rejected allegations of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
他补充说,应由国际法庭来确定以色列是否在加沙犯下了种族灭绝罪。 以色列领导人一贯否认种族灭绝、危害人类罪和战争罪的指控。
They have insisted that Israeli forces have operated in accordance with international law.
他们坚称以色列军队的行动符合国际法。
Why is the UK against Israel's proposed West Bank E1 settlement?
为什么英国反对以色列提议的西岸E1定居点?
Miliband began his statement to the Commons by referring to his Jewish roots and childhood experiences of visiting Israel, as well as recent antisemitic attacks in the UK.
米利班德在下议院发表声明时首先提到了他的犹太血统和童年访问以色列的经历,以及最近在英国发生的反犹太主义袭击。
He described himself as "a proud British Jew" and outlined his steadfast support for the state of Israel. He said: "My personal story and that of thousands of British Jews is one of the many reasons why I say to anyone here or around the world who questions Israel's right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people - you are wrong, and we will call you out whenever you engage in this attempt at the erasure of Israel."
他形容自己是“一个自豪的英国犹太人”,并概述了他对以色列国的坚定支持。 他说:“我个人的故事以及成千上万英国犹太人的故事是我对这里或世界各地任何质疑以色列作为犹太人家园的权利的人说的众多原因之一——你们错了,每当你们试图消灭以色列时,我们都会谴责你们。”
But the UK's Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said it was a "truly a dark day for British Jews", saying the sanctions were "little more than political flag bearing for mendacious anti-Israel rhetoric" that would embolden people who "use hatred as a weapon against Jews".
但英国首席拉比埃弗雷姆·米尔维斯爵士表示,这“对英国犹太人来说确实是黑暗的一天”,并表示制裁“只不过是虚假的反以色列言论的政治旗帜”,这将使“利用仇恨作为针对犹太人的武器”的人更加大胆。
The Board of Deputies of British Jews expressed "deep regret" over Tuesday's announcement, and urged both the UK and Israeli governments to "avoid pursuing what appear to be party interests over national interests".
英国犹太人代表委员会对周二的声明表示“深感遗憾”,并敦促英国和以色列政府“避免追求看似政党利益而非国家利益的事情”。
Responding in the Commons, Conservative shadow foreign secretary Tom Tugendhat claimed ministers were "enacting policies that the Foreign Office knows won't work".
保守党影子外交大臣汤姆·图根哈特在下议院回应称,部长们正在“制定外交部明知行不通的政策”。
He agreed that illegal settlements were wrong and "some Israeli ministers have indulged in hateful propaganda and incitement" but added "this isn't about Israel alone and it certainly isn't about reducing the complexity of the region to a single sentence.
他同意非法定居点是错误的,“一些以色列部长沉迷于仇恨性的宣传和煽动”,但他补充说,“这不仅仅是以色列的问题,当然也不是为了将该地区的复杂性降低到一句话。”
Sadly, the government is in the process of doing just that".
可悲的是,政府正在这样做”。
Israel's foreign minister Saar said on Tuesday evening he had spoken with Tugendhat and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, thanking them "for their firm opposition to the hostile Labour government's announcement today and its series of anti-Israel policies since taking office".
以色列外交部长萨尔周二晚间表示,他已与图根哈特和保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克进行了交谈,感谢他们“坚决反对敌对的工党政府今天的声明及其上任以来的一系列反以色列政策”。
He also said British representatives from the International Gaza Support Center in Kiryat Gat in southern Israel would be removed, and UK activities to train Palestinian Authority forces in Judea and Samaria - how the Israeli government refers to the West Bank - would be terminated.
他还表示,位于以色列南部加特镇的国际加沙支持中心的英国代表将被撤职,英国在朱迪亚和撒马利亚(以色列政府对约旦河西岸的称呼)训练巴勒斯坦权力机构部队的活动也将终止。
Speaking earlier on Tuesday, the country's President Isaac Herzog said the decision would "fall on the wrong side of history", adding: "In the current context, it would be a gross interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign nation." Herzog said the move would directly harm Palestinians and urged foreign governments to turn towards "constructive dialogue" and cooperation, adding "sanctions are not a solution".
周二早些时候,该国总统艾萨克·赫尔佐格表示,这一决定将“站在历史的错误一边”,并补充道:“在当前背景下,这将是对一个主权国家民主选举的粗暴干涉。” 赫尔佐格表示,此举将直接伤害巴勒斯坦人,并敦促外国政府转向“建设性对话”与合作,并补充说“制裁不是解决方案”。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters the White House had no comment on the joint action, adding that "obviously we're not going to do what the UK did".
美国国务卿卢比奥告诉记者,白宫对联合行动不予置评,并补充说“显然我们不会像英国那样做”。
Earlier, Donald Trump's ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee earlier told the BBC that the US - Israel's most powerful ally - would "without a doubt" respond to the expected sanctions, warning of a "huge economic impact on British businesses".
早些时候,唐纳德·特朗普驻以色列大使迈克·哈卡比早些时候告诉英国广播公司,美国 - 以色列最强大的盟友 - 将“毫无疑问”对预期的制裁做出反应,并警告“对英国企业的巨大经济影响”。
He suggested action could be taken by individual US states as well as at a central, federal level.
他建议美国各州以及中央、联邦层面可以采取行动。
The Palestinian presidency welcomed the UK's decision, saying it was "an important step towards confronting Israel's colonial system and its violations against the Palestinian people".
巴勒斯坦主席对英国的决定表示欢迎,称这是“对抗以色列殖民体系及其对巴勒斯坦人民的侵犯的重要一步”。

The intervention comes almost a year after Sir Keir Starmer's government recognised a state of Palestine, and said the UK had a moral responsibility to support a peaceful future for Israelis and Palestinians.
这次干预是在凯尔·斯塔默爵士政府承认巴勒斯坦国近一年后进行的,并表示英国有道义责任支持以色列人和巴勒斯坦人的和平未来。
Israel rejects a two-state solution.
以色列拒绝两国解决方案。
It says any final settlement must be the result of negotiations with the Palestinians, and statehood should not be a precondition.
报告称,任何最终解决方案都必须是与巴勒斯坦人谈判的结果,建国不应成为先决条件。
The Palestinian Authority backs a two-state solution but Palestinian armed group Hamas does not because it is opposed to the existence of Israel.
巴勒斯坦权力机构支持两国解决方案,但巴勒斯坦武装组织哈马斯不支持,因为它反对以色列的存在。
Hamas says that it could accept an interim Palestinian state based on 1967 de facto borders, without officially recognising Israel, if refugees were given the right to return.
哈马斯表示,如果给予难民返回的权利,它可以接受以 1967 年事实上的边界为基础的临时巴勒斯坦国,而无需正式承认以色列。
Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the 1967 Middle East war. An estimated 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
自 1967 年中东战争期间占领约旦河西岸和东耶路撒冷以来,以色列已建造了约 160 个定居点,容纳了 70 万犹太人。 据估计,有 330 万巴勒斯坦人与他们生活在一起。
