联合国,9月25日——本周,联合国并非到访的世界领导人唯一的纽约看点——市长佐兰·曼达尼(Zohran Mamdani)成为志同道合的政治家们争相拜访的热门人物,同时也成了以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)的攻击目标。
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 25 - The United Nations wasn't the only New York attraction for visiting world leaders this week – Mayor Zohran Mamdani emerged as a popular draw for like-minded politicians and a target for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
这位34岁的前州议员于1月1日就任纽约市市长。他与爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁(Micheal Martin)同乘地铁,与巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦(Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva)交换了足球球衣,并与挪威总理约纳斯·加尔·斯特勒(Jonas Gahr Store)一同与学生探讨人工智能。
The 34-year-old former state lawmaker, who took office on January 1 in New York City, rode the subway with Ireland's Prime Minister Micheal Martin, exchanged soccer jerseys with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and talked to students with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store about artificial intelligence. "In a year when the main sentiment around the UN is existential gloom about the state of the world, a perky young politico was what we all needed," said Richard Gowan, director of global issues and institutions at the International Crisis Group.
国际危机组织全球问题与机构主任理查德·戈万(Richard Gowan)表示:“在人们对世界现状普遍感到存在主义式悲观的这一年,一位精力充沛的年轻政治人物正是我们所有人所需要的。”
"In a year when the main sentiment around the UN is existential gloom about the state of the world, a perky young politico was what we all needed," said Richard Gowan, director of global issues and institutions at the International Crisis Group.
他补充道:“当然,对大多数领导人来说,与曼达尼会面在政治上风险很低。你只需花些时间坐坐地铁、和孩子们待在一起。没人会要求你去解决朝鲜核问题。”
"Of course a meeting with Mamdani is pretty politically low-risk for most leaders. You spend some time on the subway and with school kids. Nobody is going to ask you to solve the North Korea nuclear problem," he added.
纽约市长也是内塔尼亚胡周四在由193个成员国组成的联合国大会上的演讲焦点。内塔尼亚胡在演讲中抨击了曼达尼,因为曼达尼曾就以色列在加沙的行动称其为战争罪犯。
The New York mayor was also a focus of Netanyahu's Thursday address to the 193-member UN General Assembly in which he berated Mamdani for calling him a war criminal over Israel's actions in Gaza.
曼达尼与西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯(Pedro Sánchez)、巴巴多斯总理米娅·莫特利(Mia Mottley)以及欧洲理事会主席安托尼奥·科斯塔(António Costa)共进早餐,讨论了“为多数人建设经济”的议题,并与荷兰总理罗布·耶滕(Rob Jetten)会见了LGBTQ+青年。
Mamdani discussed "Building an Economy for the Many” over breakfast with Spain's President Pedro Sánchez, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley and European Council President António Costa, and met LGBTQ+ youth with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
曾担任里斯本市长的科斯塔在周二的一场活动中对曼达尼说:“你拥有政治家能拥有的最佳职位——我怀念市长们有时能在早上发现问题、并在一天结束前将其解决的能力。”奥地利总统亚历山大·范德贝伦(Alexander Van der Bellen)和英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德(Ed Miliband)也与曼达尼举行了会晤。
Costa, a former mayor of Lisbon, told Mamdani at the event on Tuesday: "You have the best job that a politician can do – I miss the ability mayors sometimes have of identifying a problem in the morning and having it solved by the end of the day." Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband also had meetings with Mamdani. WAR OF WORDS WITH NETANYAHU While Democrat Mamdani's meetings were largely with world leaders of similar political leanings, there was one notable exception: Republican US President Donald Trump.
与内塔尼亚胡的言语交锋:尽管民主党人马姆达尼的会晤对象大多是政治立场相近的世界领导人,但有一个显著的例外,那就是共和党籍的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普。
As Trump's ally Netanyahu escalated a war of words with New York's first Muslim mayor, Trump met with Mamdani at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence.
随着特朗普的盟友内塔尼亚胡与纽约市首位穆斯林市长之间的言语冲突不断升级,特朗普在马姆达尼的官邸格雷斯大厦与其会面。
"I want him to be a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential, got great potential," Trump said at a joint press conference with Mamdani after their meeting on Monday.
特朗普在周一会晤后的联合新闻发布会上表示:“我希望他能成为一名出色的市长,他确实具备潜力,拥有巨大的潜力。”相比之下,内塔尼亚胡周四的讲话则形成了鲜明对比。
Netanyahu's address on Thursday was a stark contrast. "You tried to stop me from coming here. You tried. You tried to silence me. Well, you can't silence me. You can't silence the truth," Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving leader, said of Mamdani.
内塔尼亚胡是任职时间最长的以色列领导人,他在谈及马姆达尼时说:“你试图阻止我来到这里。你试过了。你试图让我闭嘴。但你想让我闭嘴是徒劳的。你无法让真相沉默。”
Mamdani campaigned for office on a promise to have Netanyahu arrested for alleged war crimes should he visit the largest US city, but later said he determined he lacked the legal authority to do so. This week, Mamdani described Netanyahu as "the architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians."
马姆达尼在竞选时曾承诺,如果内塔尼亚胡访问美国最大的城市,将因其涉嫌战争罪而将其逮捕,但他后来表示,他认定自己缺乏执行此事的法律权限。本周,马姆达尼称内塔尼亚胡是“针对巴勒斯坦人可怕种族灭绝的策划者”。
Mamdani campaigned for office on a promise to have Netanyahu arrested for alleged war crimes should he visit the largest US city, but later said he determined he lacked the legal authority to do so. This week, Mamdani described Netanyahu as "the architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians."
在内塔尼亚胡抵达的前一晚,马姆达尼在社交媒体上发布了一段视频,显示他与来自加沙的巴勒斯坦家庭一起在格雷斯大厦种植了一棵橄榄树,并配文:“愿和平成为我们的未来。”
The evening before Netanyahu's arrival, Mamdani posted a video on social media of him planting an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza with the caption: "May peace be our future."
自马姆达尼上任以来,内塔尼亚胡于周四首次访问纽约。他在联合国大会上表示:“以色列没有犯下种族灭绝。以色列阻止了种族灭绝。”
Making his first visit to New York on Thursday since Mamdani took office, Netanyahu told the General Assembly: "Israel didn't commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide."
对此,马姆达尼指责内塔尼亚胡利用其联合国演讲“重复毫无根据的谎言,以粉饰他对巴勒斯坦人的种族灭绝”,并补充道:“然而,没有任何谎言能改变这样一个事实:他仍然是国际刑事法院逮捕令的对象,该逮捕令指控其犯有战争罪和危害人类罪。”
In response, Mamdani accused Netanyahu of using his UN speech "to repeat baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians," adding: "Yet no lie can change the fact that he remains the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
以色列否认种族灭绝的指控,称其军事行动的目标是哈马斯,而非加沙的平民人口。以色列表示,其采取措施以尽量减少对平民的伤害,并称哈马斯武装分子混迹于平民之中。
Israel rejects genocide allegations and says its military campaign targets Hamas, not Gaza’s civilian population. It says it takes steps to minimize civilian harm and says Hamas fighters embed among civilians.
