On Tuesday, the United Kingdom prohibited trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, asserting that "settler terrorists" are perpetrating "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians therea move that underscores a marked hardening of Britain's stance toward its longstanding ally.

英国周二禁止与约旦河西岸被占领的以色列定居点进行贸易往来并表示定居者恐怖分子正在那里对巴勒斯坦人进行“种族清洗”,此举凸显了英国对长期盟友态度的显著强硬化。

France and Canada have successively announced similar measures, aiming to curb the ever-expanding settlements and escalating violent clashes, lest the prospect of establishing a future Palestinian state be utterly dashed.

法国与加拿大相继宣布将采取类似举措,意在遏制不断扩张的定居点及日益升级的暴力冲突,以免未来建立巴勒斯坦国的可能性彻底化为泡影。

Israel responded vehemently, declaring that it would shut down the British consulate in Jerusalem.

以色列方面作出强烈回应宣称关闭英国驻耶路撒冷领事馆

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stated that the UK would prohibit the import of all goods from the settlements and ban companies from providing services to them, encompassing financing, construction, infrastructure, real estate, and advertising.

外交大臣埃德·米利班德表示英国将禁止从定居点进口所有商品并禁止公司为定居点提供服务包括融资建筑基础设施房地产和广告

Miliband stated: "I do not believe the British public would be willing to support the occupation by stocking settlement products in shops and supermarkets."

米利班德表示:“不认为英国人民愿意通过在商店和超市接纳定居点的产品支持占领行为。”

In a joint statement, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney underscored that the ongoing expansion of settlements, along with the violent acts perpetrated by settlers in the West Bank, pose a "direct and imminent threat" to the two-state solution.

英国首相安迪·伯纳姆法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙加拿大总理马克·卡尼在联合声明中强调定居点的持续扩张以及约旦河西岸定居者所实施的暴力行径两国方案构成了直接且紧迫的威胁”。

They expressed their determination to take decisive action before it becomes "too late."

他们表示决意赶在为时已晚之前采取果断行动

The economic impact may be limited, as the settlement produces only a modest volume of exports, chiefly agricultural goods.

经济影响或许有限因为该定居点产出少量以农产品为主的出口商品

Nevertheless, the move epitomizes the discontent of some of Israel's closest allies and offers fresh evidence that the government is becoming increasingly isolated over the Gaza war.

然而此举象征着一些最亲密的盟友对以色列的不满提供了新的迹象表明以色列政府因加沙战争日益陷入孤立。

Miliband candidly admitted that he feels "profound shame and self-reproach over what Palestine has endured under the watchful gaze of the international community."

米利班德坦言对于在国际社会的注视之下巴勒斯坦所遭遇的一切深感羞愧与自责。”

He declared, "We will never stand idly by while the two-state solution is dismantled."

宣称:“我们绝不会坐视两国方案遭到瓦解。”

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar issued a vehement condemnation of what he termed this "despicable" conduct.

以色列外交部长吉迪恩·萨尔对此“卑劣”行径予以强烈谴责

He declared that Israel would expel the British representatives stationed at the joint military centre tasked with overseeing the Gaza ceasefire, and would terminate the UK's training programme for the Palestinian Authority's security forces in the West Bank.

他宣称以色列将驱逐联合军事中心内负责监督加沙停火事宜英国代表并终止英国对约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦权力机构安全部队训练项目

In parallel, Israel has also barred more than a dozen British parliamentarians and other UK citizens whom Sa'ar accused of engaging in "anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activities" from entering the country.

与此同时以色列还禁止十余名英国议员及其他萨尔所称“参与反犹太及反以色列活动”英国公民入境

Under the ultranationalist government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, settlement construction in the West Banka territory seized by Israel during the 1967 Middle East warhas expanded at a dramatic pace.

在以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡所领导的极端民族主义政府治下约旦河西岸该地区于1967年中东战争期间被以色列占领的定居点建设呈现出急剧扩张之势

The Netanyahu administration regards the West Bank as the Jewish people's ancestral homeland, both biblically and historically, and remains adamantly opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state.

内塔尼亚胡政府将约旦河西岸视为犹太民族在圣经与历史层面上的固有家园并坚决反对巴勒斯坦国的建立

The international community widely regards such construction activities as lacking legal legitimacy.

国际社会普遍认为此类建设活动在法理上不具有合法性。

The United Kingdom and other nations are particularly concerned about the E1 settlement plan approved by the Israeli government, the implementation of which would effectively sever the territorial contiguity of the region.

英国及其他国家尤为关切以色列政府批准的E1定居点计划该项目的实施将实质上割裂该地区的领土连贯性

The expulsion and assaults of Palestinians by settlers, Israeli military operations and checkpoints that curtail freedom of movement, as well as attacks by Palestinians on Israelis, have all increased markedly.

定居者对巴勒斯坦人的驱逐与袭击以色列的军事行动限制行动自由的检查站以及巴勒斯坦人对以色列人的袭击,显著增多。

Miliband stated, "The British government acknowledges that Palestinians in parts of the West Bank are subjected to acts of terrorism perpetrated by settlers, the nature of which can be regarded as ethnic cleansing."

米利班德表示:“英国政府认同约旦河西岸部分地区巴勒斯坦人正遭受定居者实施的恐怖主义行为其性质可视为种族清洗。”

He added, "Their homes are razed by bulldozers, roads and public infrastructure are damaged, and families are compelled to abandon their homes and become displaced."

他补充道,“他们的房屋被推土机夷平道路和公共基础设施遭到破坏家庭被迫离开家园流离失所。”

Miliband stated that the trade ban would be implemented within six to nine months.

米利班德表示贸易禁令在六至九个月内付诸实施

He asserted that Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden had pledged their "support for further action."

声称丹麦芬兰冰岛波兰葡萄牙瑞典已承诺支持采取进一步行动”。

He stated that countries such as the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, and Norway have either already implemented or are in the process of enacting bans on the importation of settlement products.

他表示,荷兰、爱尔兰、比利时、西班牙及挪威等国已经或正在着手禁止进口定居点产品。

Miliband further tightened the embargo on arms sales to Israel for Gaza, extending it to cover weaponry that "substantively facilitates the occupation of Palestinian territories."

米利班德进一步收紧了针对以色列向加沙出售武器的禁运使其涵盖那些实质性促进对巴勒斯坦领土占领的军备

The United Kingdom recognized the State of Palestine last year, with the aim of revitalizing the waning mediation efforts toward a two-state solution.

英国于去年承认巴勒斯坦国意在重振日渐式微的两国方案斡旋努力

In light of the shift in Britain's stance, Miliband clarified on Tuesday that the UK regards Israel's occupation of the West Bank itselfrather than merely the settlementsas constituting an unlawful act.

随着英国立场的转变米利班德周二阐明英国认定以色列对约旦河西岸的占领本身——而非仅限于定居点——已构成非法行为

This new stance may well win favour among numerous Labour voters and MPs, who are urging the government to impose stricter sanctions on Israel and extend a helping hand to the Palestinians.

这一新立场或能赢得众多工党选民议员的青睐他们正敦促政府对以色列实施更为严厉的制裁,并向巴勒斯坦人伸出援手

However, some fear that sanctions could prove counterproductive, bolstering Netanyahu's supporthe is facing a tough contest in the October electionsor triggering attacks against British Jews.

然而部分人担忧制裁可能适得其反反而增强内塔尼亚胡的支持度——正面临十月大选的艰难竞争——或引发针对英国犹太人的袭击

The Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, Ephraim Mirvis, has described this as "a dark day for British Jews."

英国首席拉比埃弗拉伊姆·米尔维斯是“英国犹太人的黑暗一日”。

Tom Tugendhat, the opposition Conservative Party's spokesperson on foreign affairs, remarked that "treating Israel as a pariah would not only exacerbate sectarian divisions within our own country but could also provoke a further escalation of antisemitic violence on the streets."

反对党保守党外交事务发言人汤姆·图根达特表示,“将以色列视为贱民不仅会加剧我国国内的宗派分裂还可能引发街头反犹暴力进一步升级。”

Before Miliband had even voiced his position, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's hardline Minister of Public Security and a settlement leader, had already urged Netanyahu to recognise Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Falkland Islandsa British overseas territory in the South Atlantic, referred to by Argentina as the Malvinas Islands.

在米利班德尚未表态之前,以色列强硬派公安部长、定居点领袖伊塔马尔·本·格维尔已敦促内塔尼亚胡承认阿根廷对福克兰群岛的主权主张——该群岛系英国在南大西洋的海外领地,阿根廷则称之为马尔维纳斯群岛。

Israeli President Isaac Herzog described the ban as "a grave miscalculation, a decision that will land on the wrong side of history.

以色列总统艾萨克·赫尔佐格该禁令严重的误判,一个将落入历史错误一边的决定

In the current context, this would constitute a flagrant interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign state."

在当前背景下将是一个主权国家民主选举的粗暴干涉。”

This move also drew criticism from the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabeea staunch advocate of long-standing settlementswho denounced it as "discrimination against Jews" and cautioned that should Britain impose sanctions, the United States might face "corresponding consequences or retaliation."

此举招致美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比——一位长期定居点的坚定拥护者——的抨击,他斥之为对犹太人的歧视”,并警告称若英国实施制裁,美国或将面临相应后果或报复”。

Several US states have enacted legislation that explicitly prohibits entering into contracts or making investments with companies that boycott Israel, including those based in the West Bank.

美国多个州已颁布法律明令禁止抵制以色列的企业——包括那些位于约旦河西岸的公司——签订合同进行投资

Burnham's office stated that he spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump on Monday, articulating 'the UK's commitment to peace and security in the region' as well as his stance on advancing the two-state solution.

伯纳姆办公室宣称于周一与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通电话并阐明了英国对该地区和平与安全的承诺以及推进两国方案的立场

As for Trump's response, no related information has been disclosed.

至于特朗普的回应,则未有任何相关消息透露

Miliband's parents fled to Britain as Nazi refugees, and he himself confessed to fellow parliamentarians that he was speaking "as a proud British Jew and supporter of Israel."

米利班德的双亲作为纳粹难民逃至英国他本人向议员们坦言他发言时是“以一名自豪的英国犹太人以色列支持者的身份”。

Miliband clarified: "Our disagreement is not with the people of Israel; the bond between the British and Israeli peoples is unbreakable.

米利班德阐明:“我们的分歧并非针对以色列人民英国与以色列人民之间有着牢不可破的联系。

What we oppose is the conduct of its government."

我们反对的是其政府的行为。”
