欧洲委员会与特朗普在加沙成立的组织合作由于没有更好的选择，欧洲委员会不得不与特朗普在加沙成立的该组织合作。不过，该组织在推动实际进展方面成效甚微。
Europe grudgingly, gingerly moves toward Trump’s Board of Peace The European Commission is working with Trump’s body in Gaza for lack of better options. But the Board of Peace’s concrete results are slim.
联合国—— 一年前该组织成立时，许多欧洲国家曾对其表示反对；如今这些国家开始与该组织合作开展加沙地带的人道主义项目，但他们对此并不满意。
UNITED NATIONS — European nations that shunned the Board of Peace when it was announced a year ago are starting to work with it on humanitarian projects in the Gaza Strip. But they aren’t happy about it.
尽管欧洲委员会正在逐步与该组织合作，但该组织提出的“解除加沙地区武装并重建该地区”的宏伟愿景仍主要停留在纸面上。不过，该组织仍是一股不可忽视的政治力量，与特朗普的核心盟友有着紧密联系。因此，欧洲正在寻求在不完全支持该组织的情况下与其合作的途径。
Even as the European Commission tiptoes into projects with the group created by President Donald Trump, the Board of Peace’s ambitious vision to disarm and rebuild Gaza remains largely on paper. Despite that, it’s still a political force to be reckoned with, tied to top Trump allies, and too big to ignore. So Europe is looking for ways to work with the organization without fully supporting it.
“所有传统的捐助方都愿意同时开展多项援助项目，但不会直接向该组织提供资金，”挪威外交部长埃斯彭·巴特·艾德在接受采访时说。挪威虽不属于欧盟，但在向巴勒斯坦人提供援助方面仍与欧盟保持合作。
“All the traditional donors are willing to work in parallel but not to transfer money to the Board of Peace,” Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in an interview. Norway is not a member of the EU, but it works with the bloc on donating to Palestinians.
艾德表示，挪威更倾向于与世界银行等“成熟的国际机构”合作。该组织并未公开其预算或组织结构；虽然它在世界银行设有账户，但也在摩根大通银行持有其他资产。“该组织的运作机制不符合我们的财务报告要求，”艾德指出。该组织未对这一评论请求作出回应。
Eide explained that Norway would prefer to work with “established institutions” like the World Bank. The Board of Peace does not publish its budget or organizational chart. And although it holds an account with the World Bank, it maintains separate holdings at JPMorgan Chase. “The Board of Peace’s mechanisms will not align with our reporting regulations,” he said. The Board of Peace didn’t respond to a request for comment.
在周三联合国大会期间举行的新闻发布会上，欧洲地中海事务专员杜布拉夫卡·舒伊卡表示，欧洲将资助两个由该组织与联合国机构共同开展的项目，这些项目“符合该组织的优先事项”。不过她对这种合作的评价并不积极。“关键在于保持务实的态度，”舒伊卡说。
The hesitation was visible at a Wednesday briefing with Board of Peace officials on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. At the event, European Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Šuica announced she’d beg onto two projects funded by Europe in partnership with U.N. agencies and “in alignment with the priorities of the Board of Peace.” But her description of the collaboration with the board was far from laudatory.
欧盟委员会在一份声明中表示：“鉴于加沙地区在灾后恢复方面存在巨大的需求，各级之间的协调与配合显然是实现救援目标的关键。”该“和平委员会”是在一年前的联合国大会上成立的，并于今年2月举行了首次会议。欧盟及其大多数成员国最初拒绝加入该委员会，部分原因是担心该委员会可能会取代联合国的作用。
“The key is to remain pragmatic,” Šuica said. The European Commission said in a statement that “considering the massive early recovery needs in Gaza, coordination and alignment at all levels is of course necessary to deliver on the ground.” The Board of Peace was announced a year ago during the General Assembly and held its first meeting in February. The EU and most of its member states refused to join the Board of Peace, in part from concerns it could supplant the U.N.
此后，欧洲各国开始邀请和平委员会的代表参加他们的会议，并与委员会负责人尼古拉·姆拉德诺夫一同出席联合国安理会的简报会。这些联合项目标志着各方合作迈出的第一步。

就连负责处理加沙地区巴勒斯坦难民问题的联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（UNRWA）也勉强接受了这一新机构的存在；尽管以色列和美国一直试图削弱该机构的权威。
Since then, European nations have invited Board of Peace representatives to their meetings and attended Security Council briefings with the head of the board, Nickolay Mladenov. The joint projects are the first concrete step toward collaboration.
联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处的临时负责人克里斯蒂安·桑德斯表示：“和平委员会是目前唯一可行的解决方案，各方都应予以支持。”
The grudging embrace of the body extends even to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the organization that handles Palestinian refugees in Gaza and which Israel and the U.S. have pushed to sideline.
罗马尼亚外交部长奥安娜-西尔维娅·托伊乌在采访中谨慎地谈到了该委员会的作用，称她的国家正在与联合国和欧盟合作，并表示：“在我们认为存在互补性的领域，我们当然会支持和平委员会的工作。”她还提到自己已于周四与姆拉德诺夫在联合国共同出席了会议。
The Board of Peace is “the one game in town,” said UNRWA’s interim head, Christian Saunders. “Everybody needs to get behind it.” Romanian Foreign Minister Oana-Silvia Țoiu was diplomatic about the role of the board in an interview. She said her country is working with the U.N. and the EU and “yes, where we see complementarity, of course, we are supporting what is happening at the Board of Peace level.” She added that she participated in a meeting with Mladenov at the U.N. on Thursday.
然而，并非所有人都支持这种合作方式。一位不愿公开姓名的法国官员强调：“联合国应继续作为协调人道主义援助进入加沙、解决争端以及推动政治进程的主要平台。”
That approach is not unanimous.
去年11月，和平委员会获得了联合国的认可，被认定为“一个过渡性机构”，其职责是制定加沙重建的框架并协调相关资金。不过该委员会实际上独立运作，批评者认为这等于向特朗普和以色列屈服。
A French official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic affairs, stressed that “the U.N. should remain the primary forum for facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, resolving disputes and advancing the political process.”
“这就像一个通道：顶端连接着华盛顿，而底层则是巴勒斯坦的技术官僚们，”与国际危机组织（International Crisis Group）有密切联系的阿姆贾德·伊拉克（Amjad Iraqi）说道。不过他补充说：“最终的决策权仍掌握在以色列手中。”他指出，以色列一直限制重型设备和重建物资的进入，并表示只有在哈马斯解除武装后才会允许这些物资进入加沙地带。然而，和平委员会（Board of Peace）推动哈马斯解除武装的计划已经失败了。此外，以色列继续对加沙地带的所谓“哈马斯目标”发动致命袭击，尽管袭击规模比去年有所减小。
The Board of Peace sought, and received, endorsement by the U.N. in November last year as “a transitional administration … that will set the framework, and coordinate funding for, the redevelopment of Gaza.” But it operates independently, and critics say it is a capitulation to Trump and to Israel. “It’s a gateway to Washington at the top and the Palestinian technocrats at the bottom,” said the International Crisis Group’s Amjad Iraqi, who is in close contact with European, Arab and Palestinian officials. However, he said, “what is being decided is decided by Israel.” He pointed to ongoing Israeli restrictions on entry for heavy equipment and reconstruction equipment, which Israel says it will not permit until Hamas disarms. But the Board of Peace plan to disarm Hamas has foundered. Moreover, Israel has continued lethal strikes on what it says are Hamas targets in Gaza, albeit at a smaller scale than last year.
一位来自该和平委员会成员国的阿拉伯外交官表示，该委员会会以“非正式”的方式与以色列讨论平民伤亡问题，但这种做法是否足够有效仍存在争议。
“It’s a gateway to Washington at the top and the Palestinian technocrats at the bottom,” said the International Crisis Group’s Amjad Iraqi, who is in close contact with European, Arab and Palestinian officials. However, he said, “what is being decided is decided by Israel.” He pointed to ongoing Israeli restrictions on entry for heavy equipment and reconstruction equipment, which Israel says it will not permit until Hamas disarms. But the Board of Peace plan to disarm Hamas has foundered. Moreover, Israel has continued lethal strikes on what it says are Hamas targets in Gaza, albeit at a smaller scale than last year.
罗马尼亚的外交官托伊乌（Țoiu）认为，对于像加沙这样复杂的问题，需要“主要相关方”的参与，尤其是美国——美国应作为推动哈马斯解除武装的关键力量。和平委员会声称自己在一些关键问题上取得了显著进展：首先，他们促成了停火协议的谈判，并成功促使以色列释放了被扣押在加沙的人质；其次，他们还为联合国授权组建的国际稳定部队（International Stabilization Force）培训了500名士兵，以帮助稳定加沙局势并实现其非军事化；此外，他们还在加沙地区建设所需的基础设施。
An Arab diplomat whose country is a member of the Board of Peace said the board speaks to Israel about civilian casualties “in a private capacity. Whether this is enough or not is debatable.” Romania’s Țoiu said that for a problem of the scale of Gaza, “you need the big actors on board” including “U.S. as a core facilitator of what can happen as a pressure for disarmament of Hamas.” The Board of Peace argues that it has made significant progress on key issues. First among them is a negotiation for the nominal ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages from Gaza — an achievement Trump himself touted in his speech before the General Assembly on Tuesday. It has also trained 500 troops for the International Stabilization Force that the U.N. authorized to stabilize Gaza and ensure its demilitarization. And it says it’s building out the infrastructure needed to govern the enclave.
和平委员会下属的巴勒斯坦技术官僚委员会负责人阿里·沙阿特（Ali Shaath）在周三的活动中强调，和平委员会对于恢复加沙地区的秩序至关重要。他表示，目前加沙地区有数以万计的巴勒斯坦权力机构工作人员、地方政府官员以及众多联合国机构和国际非政府组织正在开展工作，而他们的委员会将负责协调这些机构的运作。
Ali Shaath, the head of the Board of Peace’s Palestinian technocratic committee, which is set to govern Gaza, argued at Wednesday’s event that the Board of Peace is needed to bring order to a “fragmented” situation.
“我们遵循一个原则：一个权威机构、一部法律，以及一种统一的行动方式，”他说。
Tens of thousands of employees of the Palestinian Authority, municipalities, the strip’s de facto government and a bevy of U.N. agencies and international NGOs are operating in the enclave, he said, and his panel would consolidate them.
姆拉德诺夫也承认，在战斗环境下开展工作确实充满挑战。他在本周的活动中表示，该委员会正在研究一种“复杂的冲突化解机制”，以在安全问题升级到暴力冲突阶段之前就加以解决。周三，和平委员会公布了一份包含66个项目的清单，总金额为24.5亿美元；这些项目涵盖了提供保温型活动房屋、支持公共交通系统以及修复医院等内容，委员会预计这些项目将很快启动。该计划的目标是在项目启动后的六个月内完成所有工作（不过具体启动日期并未明确说明）。
“We are following one principle: one authority, one law and one weapon,” he said. Mladenov has also acknowledged the tension of working amid fighting. He said at this week’s event that the board was working on a “sophisticated deconflicting mechanism” to address security challenges before they reach “the kinetic stage.” On Wednesday the Board of Peace released a list of 66 projects worth $2.45 billion, ranging from providing insulated caravans to supporting public transportation to fixing hospitals, that it expects to begin soon. The plan is to complete those six months from their start date — which wasn’t specified.
特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳也是和平委员会执行委员会的成员，他在同一场活动中指出：“目前所看到的情况，其实类似于建立一个规模庞大的初创企业。”曾负责美国国务院战后伊拉克事务规划、并与欧洲官员保持联系的汤姆·沃里克表示，正是这种缺乏具体细节的情况，让欧洲及其他潜在合作伙伴对和平委员会的计划感到担忧。
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a member of the Board of Peace’s executive board, argued at the same event that “what you’ve seen is almost like the building of a really, really big startup.” Tom Warrick, who headed up postwar Iraq planning for the State Department and is in touch with European officials, said the lack of specificity is exactly what makes Europe and other potential partners nervous about the board’s plans.
“从纸面上看，这个计划看起来很不错，但问题在于：我们该如何将计划真正付诸实践？”沃里克问道。
“This looks good on paper, but what’s missing is how do we get from here to the actual launch point of most of the projects in this plan,” Warrick said.
姆拉德诺夫在和平委员会的活动上暗示，在以色列10月27日的选举之前，这些项目可能很难真正启动。
Mladenov gave an indication at the Board of Peace event that little might move before Israel’s Oct. 27 elections.
“由于以色列的选举，我们目前与以色列的谈判进展并不顺利，”他说。他强调自己的目标是实现持久和平，并要求哈马斯必须解除武装。
“Our discussions with Israel right now are not easy because of the elections there,” he said.
“我们并不受时间表的约束，而是以项目的实际进展作为衡量标准。我们希望确保这个计划能够真正发挥作用，”他说。
He emphasized his goal was a durable peace including Hamas disarmament. “We’re not bound by a calendar or dates. We’re bound by verification. We want to make sure that this works,” he said.
