Israel, US Condemn Palestinian Plan to Form Unity Government 以色列、美国谴责巴勒斯坦计划组建团结政府

WASHINGTON — Long-divided Palestinian leaders from the West Bank and Gaza Strip have announced plans to form a unity government in the near future. While Palestinians celebrate the news, Israel and the United States have expressed concern about what it means for the fragile Mideast peace process.

Rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah announced Wednesday they will soon begin talks to form a unity government.

约旦河西岸和加沙地带长期以来一直处于分裂的巴勒斯坦领导人宣布，在不久的将来组建一个团结政府。

"An agreement has been reached on the formation within five weeks of an interim government headed by President [Mahmoud Abbas]," said Ismail Haniya, prime minister of the Hamas government as he addressed people in Gaza.

尽管巴勒斯坦人对这个消息感到庆幸，但是以色列和美国担心此举会影响脆弱的中东和平。

对立的巴勒斯坦派别哈马斯和法塔赫星期三宣布，他们不久将开始谈判组建一个团结政府。哈马斯政府总理哈尼亚在加沙地带对民众说： “已经达成一项协议，在五个星期内组建一个由阿巴斯主席领导的过渡政府。”

The two enclaves have been politically divided since 2007, when Hamas split from the Palestinian Authority and took power in Gaza. The militant group has accused President Abbas of being too weak in dealing with Israel and its western allies. Numerous attempts at reconciliation have failed.

自从2007年哈马斯与巴勒斯坦当局分裂，在加沙地带掌权以来，约旦河西岸和加沙这两块飞地就一直处于政治分裂状态。激进的哈马斯一直指责巴权力机构主席阿巴斯在与以色列及其西方盟国打交道时太过软弱。双方多次和解的努力都告失败。

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki Wednesday said the Palestine Liberation Organization is making a serious effort to end the division.  

巴勒斯坦外长马利基星期三表示，巴解组织正在为结束分裂进行认真的努力。

"What I want to say is that when we sent the PLO delegation to Gaza our goal was to reach an agreement. There was no tactic attempt or any game; it is all about a real work to finish the division," said al-Maliki.

他说： “我想说的是，我们派代表团到加沙地带，我们的目标是达成一项协议。这其中没有任何权宜之计或者阴谋，就是想为结束分裂进行真正的努力。”

Israel reacted angrily to the announcement. The Hamas-ruled enclave has refused to recognize Israel, and the two sides have traded bloody cross-border attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accused President Abbas of sabotaging peace talks.

以色列对这一声明做出愤怒反应。哈马斯领导的地区一直拒绝承认以色列，双方还互相进行了越界的流血攻击。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡星期三谴责阿巴斯破坏中东和谈。

"We're trying to re-launch the negotiations with the Palestinians. Every time we get to that point, Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) stacks on additional condition, which he knows that Israel cannot give. So instead of moving into peace with Israel, he's moving into peace with Hamas. And he has to choose. Does he want peace with Hamas or peace with Israel? You can have one but not the other. I hope he chooses peace; so far he hasn't done so," said Netanyahu. 

他说： “我们正在努力和巴勒斯坦人重启谈判。每次我们要这样做的时候，阿巴斯就提出一堆他知道以色列不会答应的附加条件。所以他不是要和以色列缔结和平，而是要和哈马斯达成和平。他必须做出选择，究竟是和哈马斯，还是和以色列实现和平？你只能二选一。我希望他选择和平。目前为止他还没有这样做。”

Israel and the United States consider Hamas a terrorist organization. The United States is mediating talks between Israel and the Palestinian government in the West Bank.

以色列和美国把哈马斯列为恐怖组织。美国正在斡旋以色列和约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦政府之间的和谈。

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Palestinian announcement jeopardizes the continuation of that fragile peace process.

美国国务院发言人莎琪表示，巴勒斯坦的上述宣布威胁到脆弱的中东和平进程。

"Any Palestinian government must unambiguously and explicitly commit to non-violence, recognition to the state of Israel, an acceptance to previous agreements and obligations between the parties. This announcement, the timing was troubling and we were certainly disappointed in the announcement," said Psaki.

她说：“任何巴勒斯坦政府都必须毫不含糊并明确地承诺非暴力，承认以色列国，接受之前各方达成的协议和义务。做出这项宣布的时间点让人不安，我们的确对此感到失望。”

But many Palestinians, tired of being divided, celebrated the news of possible reunification.

但是很多对分裂感到厌倦的巴勒斯坦人，则在庆祝双方可能和解的消息。
