On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a provocative address to world leaders, asserting that Israel has the right to take military action against Iran and dismissing allegations of genocide in Gaza as not merely baseless but nothing short of "the greatest lie of the century" — yet even before his speech had begun, dozens of delegates had already staged a collective walkout, departing before they could hear a word he said.

以色列總理班傑明·尼坦雅胡於週四向世界各國領袖發表了一場語帶挑釁的演說,宣稱以色列有權對伊朗動武,並指加薩種族滅絕之指控不僅子虛烏有,更堪稱「世紀最大謊言」——然而,早在其演說揭幕之前,數十名代表已然集體拂袖離席,未及聽聞其發言。

In an increasingly impassioned tone, Netanyahu declared that attacking Iran was "one of the easiest decisions I have ever made," and denounced the numerous delegates who collectively walked out of the United Nations General Assembly as he took the podium to speak as "moral cowards."

尼坦雅胡以愈發激昂的語氣宣稱,攻擊伊朗「是我做過最輕鬆的決定之一」,並譴責在他登上講台發言之際集體步出聯合國大會的眾多代表為「道德懦夫」。

"In defending itself, Israel is also defending the many countries whose representatives just walked out," Netanyahu said.

「以色列在自衛之際,亦同時捍衛著諸多代表方才離席的國家,」尼坦雅胡說道。

"Indeed, I would have you know that many of those leaders are, in private, grateful that we destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons."

「實則,我欲讓諸位知悉,彼等眾多領導人甚至私下感念我們摧毀了伊朗的核武。」

As Netanyahu made his way toward the podium, cheers, jeers, and a mass walkout erupted all at once.

當尼坦雅胡步向講台之際,歡呼、噓聲與大規模離席同時迸發。

Dozens of delegates withdrew en masse, leaving most of the seats visible behind them conspicuously vacant.

數十名代表集體退場,其後可見之座位大多空置。

"Let us please maintain order in the chamber," the assembly's president, Halilur Rahman, repeated again and again.

「請會場保持秩序,」大會主席哈利盧爾·拉赫曼再三言道。

"If there remain among you any who are morally craven and have not yet departed, I beseech you to withdraw at once," Netanyahu declared.

「倘若尚有道德怯懦之徒猶未離席,懇請即刻退場,」尼坦雅胡如是言道。

His remarks — which, at a time when Israel was preparing for elections, were at moments phrased almost like a campaign speech — came after a week in which world leaders had successively accused Israel of committing genocide and war crimes in Gaza.

他的發言——值此以色列籌備選舉之際,其措辭時而儼若競選演說——乃係於一週以來世界各國領袖相繼指控以色列在加薩犯下種族滅絕與戰爭罪行之後所發表。

The Palestinian delegation to the United Nations has sent a message to numerous countries among the 193 UN member states, urging them to mobilize as many people as possible into the General Assembly Hall and, at the moment the Israeli Prime Minister is announced to speak, to "walk out of the General Assembly collectively."

巴勒斯坦駐聯合國代表團已向193個聯合國成員國中的眾多國家遞送訊息,籲請其儘可能動員更多人數進入大會廳,並於以色列總理被宣布發言之際「集體走出大會」。

"This act amounts to conveying a solemn message to Netanyahu and his government: no party in the world is any longer willing to lend a helping hand, to grant indulgence, or to collude with his genocide, war crimes, and illegal occupation; all peace-loving nations and peoples fervently long for these practices to be brought to an end entirely," the message stated.

「此舉無異向尼坦雅胡及其政府傳達一項嚴正訊息:世間再無任何一方願施以援手、予以縱容,或與其種族滅絕、戰爭罪行及非法占領沆瀣一氣;凡愛好和平之國家與人民,皆亟盼此等行徑悉數終結,」訊息中寫道。

Israel denies committing genocide and war crimes, and likewise denies the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.

以色列否認犯下種族滅絕與戰爭罪行,亦否認非法占領巴勒斯坦領土。

Although, under international law, all Israeli settlements are illegal, the Israeli government nonetheless insists that they are lawful.

儘管根據國際法,所有以色列定居點均屬非法,以色列政府仍堅稱其合法。

During his address to the assembly, Netanyahu deftly deployed visual aids, at one point brandishing a pager in order to evoke in his audience the memory of the events of 17 September 2024 — the day Israel remotely detonated thousands of pagers that had been distributed to Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

尼坦雅胡於大會演說中嫻熟運用視覺輔助工具,一度高舉一枚呼叫器,藉以喚起聽眾對2024年9月17日事件的記憶——是日,以色列以遠端遙控方式引爆數千枚分發予黎巴嫩真主黨武裝分子之呼叫器。

That pager attack left more than 3,000 people wounded and claimed the lives of 12, among them two children.

該起呼叫器攻擊致使3,000餘人負傷,12人罹難,其中包括兩名兒童。

In his address to the assembly, he reiterated the magnitude of the 7 October 2023 attack, when Hamas militants slaughtered approximately 1,200 people.

他於大會中重申2023年10月7日襲擊之規模,其時哈瑪斯武裝分子屠戮約1,200人。

"That would be equivalent to 40,000 innocent Americans being slaughtered in less than 24 hours," he remarked — or nearly sixteen times the death toll of the 9/11 attacks, which claimed close to 3,000 lives in New York.

「此無異於40,000名無辜美國人於不足24小時內慘遭殺戮,」他如是說,抑或近乎9/11攻擊罹難人數之16倍——該場攻擊於紐約奪走近3,000條人命。

Netanyahu expressed his gratitude to US President Donald Trump for the decisive action he had taken against Iran, and insisted that Israel would ultimately prevail over its enemies: "We will keep on winning, for we have no other choice."

尼坦雅胡對美國總統唐納·川普針對伊朗所採取的果斷行動表達謝忱,並堅稱以色列終將克敵制勝:「我們將持續告捷,蓋因吾人別無他途。」

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas likewise addressed the United Nations General Assembly earlier on Thursday; because the United States, for the second consecutive year, refused to grant him and other senior Palestinian officials visas to attend, he delivered a pre-recorded speech from his office in Ramallah.

巴勒斯坦總統馬哈茂德·阿巴斯亦於週四稍早在聯合國大會發表講話;緣於美國連續第二年拒予其本人及其他巴勒斯坦高層官員核發與會簽證,遂自拉馬拉辦公室發表預錄講話。

This nonagenarian leader's domestic popularity and international influence have both waned.

這位九旬領導人於國內的民望與國外的影響力俱已式微。

Yet in his address, Abbas made it unequivocally clear that he has no intention of quietly accepting a fate of marginalization.

然而,阿巴斯在發言中明確表示,他無意默默承受被邊緣化的命運。

"We will never forsake our homeland; we will never bow to displacement; nor will we ever permit anyone to overstep us and dictate our future on our behalf," Abbas said.

「我們絕不會離棄我們的祖國;我們絕不會俯首於流離失所;我們亦絕不容許任何人僭越我們,替我們主宰我們的未來,」阿巴斯說。

Even though world leaders repeatedly addressed the plight of the Palestinians in speeches throughout the week, Abbas nonetheless urged the international community to take more concrete action against Israel.

縱使世界各國領袖於整週演說中屢屢論及巴勒斯坦人之困境,阿巴斯仍敦促國際社會對以色列採取更為切實之行動。

"How much longer must certain nations remain silent about Israel, or continue supplying it with weapons used to kill our people?

「究竟某些國家還須對以色列默然不語到幾時,抑或持續向其輸送用以戕害我方人民的武器?

The world has already witnessed the devastating toll exacted in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank," Abbas said.

世界已然目睹加薩走廊與約旦河西岸所付出的慘重代價,」阿巴斯說道。

"So what, then, is the international community still waiting for before it acts to protect the Palestinian people?"

「那麼,國際社會在付諸行動以庇護巴勒斯坦人民之前,究竟還在殷殷等待什麼?」

For the past several years, Netanyahu has seized the occasion of his United Nations General Assembly address both to excoriate the UN for its bias and to set forth Israel's position to world leaders.

過去數載,尼坦雅胡藉聯合國大會演說之機,既申斥聯合國之偏頗,亦向寰宇領袖闡明以色列之立場。

His speech — deliberately scheduled for Israeli prime time — constituted the centrepiece of his brief visit to the United States, a visit that remained overshadowed throughout by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's denunciation of him as a "war criminal" and his insistence that he be arrested.

其演說——特意安排於以色列黃金時段——乃其短暫訪美行程之樞要,而此行始終籠罩於紐約市長佐赫蘭·馬姆達尼斥其為「戰爭罪犯」並力主將其逮捕之陰影下。

Mamdani conceded that the New York authorities had no power to execute the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, yet he nonetheless urged the federal authorities to carry it out.

馬姆達尼坦承紐約當局無權執行國際刑事法院所簽發之逮捕令,惟仍敦促聯邦當局予以執行。

The diplomatic isolation into which Israel has fallen over the course of the Gaza war is growing ever more severe.

以色列於加薩戰爭期間所陷入之外交孤立態勢日益嚴峻。

The conflict began on 7 October 2023, when militants under Hamas's leadership launched an assault on Israel, leaving roughly 1,200 people dead and 251 taken captive.

是役肇端於2023年10月7日,哈瑪斯所領導之武裝分子對以色列發動襲擊,致使約1,200人喪生、251人遭擄。

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health — a body subordinate to the Hamas-run administration whose figures are generally accepted by the international community as reliable — the offensive that Israel subsequently launched has claimed the lives of at least 73,922 Palestinians.

據加薩衛生部——該機構隸屬於哈瑪斯執政當局,其統計數據普遍獲國際社會採信為可靠——以色列其後展開之攻勢已導致至少73,922名巴勒斯坦人罹難。

The ceasefire agreement concluded between Israel and Hamas last October, while it halted the most devastating fighting and secured the release of the remaining hostages, saw its subsequent measures swiftly bog down into a state of deadlock and stagnation.

以色列與哈瑪斯於去年十月所締結之停火協議,雖遏止了最為慘烈的戰鬥,並促成剩餘人質獲釋,然其後續舉措旋即陷入膠著停滯。

To date, Israel still maintains control over the vast majority of Gaza and continues to launch airstrikes against Palestinians in the vicinity of its militarily controlled zones.

以色列迄今仍掌控加薩絕大部分地區,並持續對其軍事控制區周邊之巴勒斯坦人發動空襲。

Hamas has neither disarmed nor relinquished power, and this territory, largely reduced to ruins, has likewise seen no progress whatsoever on the front of reconstruction.

哈瑪斯既未解除武裝,亦未移交權力,而這片泰半化為廢墟的領土,於重建方面同樣毫無進展可言。

Netanyahu has declared that for as long as he remains at the helm of Israel's leadership, he will under no circumstances permit the establishment of a Palestinian state, and he has asserted that the Palestinian Authority is no partner for peace.

尼坦雅胡曾宣稱,只要他仍執掌以色列領導權,便絕不容許巴勒斯坦國之建立,並主張巴勒斯坦權力機構並非和平夥伴。

Netanyahu downplayed the violence inflicted by Israeli settlers in the West Bank against Palestinians, attributing it to the stone-throwing, olive-tree felling, and arson of "a handful of delinquent youths."

尼坦雅胡將約旦河西岸以色列定居者針對巴勒斯坦人所施加的暴力行徑,輕描淡寫地歸咎於「少數青少年不良分子」的擲石、砍伐橄欖樹與縱火之舉。

"I cannot countenance such conduct.

「我無法容忍此等行徑。

I will under no circumstances permit vigilante justice," the prime minister declared, proceeding to censure foreign leaders and the international media for exaggerating the scale of the violence in the West Bank.

我絕不容許私刑,」總理表示,繼而譴責外國領導人與國際媒體誇大於約旦河西岸暴力之規模。

Netanyahu's government is dominated by settlers and their allies, encompassing even the cabinet minister who oversees police affairs.

尼坦雅胡的政府係由定居者及其盟友所把持,其中更涵蓋執掌警察事務之內閣部長一職。

Yet, in the case of settlers who attack Palestinians, arrests have been exceedingly few.

然而,針對襲擊巴勒斯坦人之定居者,遭逮捕者寥寥無幾。

Israel annexed the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 war, and the Palestinians aspire for these two territories to form part of their future state.

以色列於1967年戰爭中兼併約旦河西岸與東耶路撒冷,巴勒斯坦人冀望此二地能成為其未來國家之組成部分。

The vast majority of Palestinians and of the international community regard the settlements as illegal and consider them a major obstacle to the establishment of a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state.

巴勒斯坦人及國際社會之絕大多數皆視定居點為非法,且認為其構成建立一個可行且領土連續之巴勒斯坦國的重大障礙。

Journalists Jennifer Peltz and Edith M. Lederer also contributed to the reporting.

記者珍妮佛·佩爾茨與伊迪絲·M·萊德勒亦襄助採訪報導之列。
