《纽约时报》援引知情人士和以色列前安全官员的消息报道称,阿拉伯联合酋长国于2023年9月下旬曾警告以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡,哈马斯正在策划一场大规模袭击。
The United Arab Emirates warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in late September 2023 that Hamas was planning a major attack, The New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the call and former Israeli security officials.
据报道,阿联酋总统穆罕默德·本·扎耶德致电内塔尼亚胡,传递了哈马斯正准备发动袭击的情报。该预警未具体说明哈马斯计划是发射火箭弹,还是对以色列发动地面突袭。
UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed called Netanyahu and passed on information that Hamas was preparing an attack, according to the report. The warning did not specify whether Hamas planned to fire rockets or launch a ground assault into Israel.
据五名前以色列高级安全官员向《纽约时报》透露,该情报并未在内塔尼亚胡于10月1日(哈马斯袭击前六天)与以色列安全首脑举行的会议上提出。该报还查阅了会议记录。
The information was not raised at a meeting Netanyahu held with Israel's security chiefs on October 1, six days before the Hamas attack, according to five former senior Israeli security officials who spoke to the Times. The newspaper also reviewed minutes of the meeting.
根据会议记录,内塔尼亚胡在会上强调维持加沙地带平静的必要性。他还驳回了安全官员关于以色列应考虑打击参与从加沙地带发动袭击的哈马斯高级人物的建议。
At the meeting, Netanyahu stressed the need to maintain calm in Gaza. He also pushed back against suggestions from security officials that Israel should consider strikes against senior Hamas figures involved in attacks from the Gaza Strip, according to the meeting minutes.
报道称,内塔尼亚胡还表示,以色列在加沙的军事行动可能会损害沙特阿拉伯与以色列建立外交关系的前景,他认为该协议即将达成。该预警最早由以色列报纸《国土报》于本月早些时候披露。
Netanyahu also said Israeli military action in Gaza could damage the prospect of Saudi Arabia establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, a deal he believed was close, the report said. The warning had first been reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz earlier this month.
法新社当时报道称,《国土报》说本·扎耶德在10月7日袭击发生前约10天联系了内塔尼亚胡,此前他收到情报称哈马斯正准备一项重大行动。
AFP reported at the time that Haaretz had said bin Zayed contacted Netanyahu around 10 days before the October 7 attack after receiving information that Hamas was preparing a major operation.
根据法新社报道的说法,哈马斯领导人叶海亚·辛瓦尔曾告诉一名前巴勒斯坦官员,该组织正在准备他所描述的重大或“可怕”行动。
According to the account reported by AFP, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had told a former Palestinian official that the group was preparing what he described as a major or “terrifying” operation.
这名前官员将情报传递给一名阿联酋顾问,后者在阿联酋领导人联系内塔尼亚胡前将其转达给了本·扎耶德。
The former official passed the information to an Emirati adviser, who then conveyed it to bin Zayed before the UAE leader contacted Netanyahu.
内塔尼亚胡否认收到过来自本·扎耶德的任何警告。他的办公室表示,如果从阿联酋收到相关信息,本应通过两国间的情报渠道传递。
Netanyahu has denied receiving any warning from bin Zayed. His office said that if relevant information had been received from the UAE, it would have been passed through intelligence channels between the two countries.
法新社报道,阿联酋也拒绝就其领导人与外国官员之间的对话报道直接置评,同时表示在必要时会共享相关情报。
The UAE has also declined to comment directly on reports about conversations between its leaders and foreign officials, while saying relevant intelligence is shared when necessary, AFP reported.
10月7日的袭击在以色列造成约1200人死亡,并导致约250人被劫持为人质。
The October 7 attack killed about 1,200 people in Israel and resulted in around 250 people being taken hostage.
这场袭击暴露了以色列安全和情报系统的重大失误,此后已成为该国关于未能阻止袭击责任归属辩论的核心议题。
The assault exposed major failures in Israel's security and intelligence system and has since become a major issue in the country's debate over responsibility for the failure to prevent the attack.
《纽约时报》的报道还指出了其他未被采纳的警告。以色列安全官员在2022年获得了一份哈马斯的作战计划,被称为“耶利哥墙”,但据报道军方领导人认为其不切实际。其他情报评估也得出结论,认为哈马斯并未为大规模战争做准备。
The NYT report also points to other warnings that were not acted upon. Israeli security officials had obtained a Hamas battle plan in 2022, known as the “Jericho Wall”, but military leaders reportedly considered it unrealistic. Other intelligence assessments had also concluded that Hamas was not preparing for a major war.
阿联酋和以色列于2020年在美国斡旋的《亚伯拉罕协议》下建立外交关系。尽管加沙战争爆发,这种关系仍然是以色列与阿拉伯世界关系的重要组成部分。
The UAE and Israel established diplomatic relations in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords. The relationship has remained an important part of Israel's ties with the Arab world despite the war in Gaza.
随着以色列人准备于下月进行全国大选,这份新报告出炉之际,关于10月7日安全失误责任归属的问题已成为一个重大政治议题。
The new report comes as Israelis prepare for national elections next month, with the question of responsibility for the October 7 security failures emerging as a major political issue.
