以色列周日表示,将撤销代表荷兰驻拉马拉巴勒斯坦权力机构的荷兰外交官的外交地位,以回应荷兰针对被占约旦河西岸以色列定居点实施的制裁。
Israel said on Sunday it was revoking the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats who represent the Netherlands at the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority, in response to Dutch sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
本月早些时候,在伦敦宣布禁止进口定居点商品的类似制裁后,以色列下令关闭英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆,该领事馆是英国驻巴勒斯坦权力机构的代表机构。
Israel earlier this month ordered the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem, which is Britain’s representative with the Palestinian Authority, after London announced similar sanctions banning the import of goods from settlements.
以色列外长吉德翁·萨尔在社交媒体上表示,在拉马拉工作的荷兰外交官必须在七天内归还以色列签发的外交文件,届时他们的外交特权和豁免权将到期。
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on social media that Dutch diplomats operating in Ramallah must return their Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation within seven days, when their diplomatic privileges and immunities are due to expire.
“任何以敌对和单方面方式对抗以色列的国家都将在该地区失去影响力和相关性,”萨尔说。
“Any country that acts in a hostile and unilateral manner against Israel will lose influence and relevance in the region,” Saar said.
荷兰外交部拒绝置评。荷兰禁止进口定居点生产商品的禁令于上周生效。
The Dutch Foreign Ministry declined to comment. The Netherlands’ ban on imports of goods produced in settlements came into effect last week.
以色列8月禁止荷兰外交官进入设在以色列的美国主导的加沙协调中心,外长将此举称为“反以色列措施”。包括荷兰在内的许多国家长期以来都有外交官住在东耶路撒冷,同时代表其政府与拉马拉的巴勒斯坦权力机构打交道。
The Dutch Foreign Ministry declined to comment. The Netherlands’ ban on imports of goods produced in settlements came into effect last week. Israel in August banned Dutch diplomats from a US-led coordination centre for Gaza that is based in Israel, over what the foreign minister described as “anti-Israel measures.” Many countries, including the Netherlands, have long had diplomats who represent their governments with the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah while living in East Jerusalem.
以色列传统上承认这些外交官的资格,并根据《维也纳外交关系公约》授予他们某些特权。

法国和加拿大本月加入英国行列,宣布禁止进口定居点商品,但以色列尚未对这两国采取任何行动。
Israel has traditionally accredited those diplomats and granted them certain privileges under the Vienna Convention on the treatment of diplomatic missions.
总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的右翼政府因近年来在加沙和约旦河西岸的行动,发现自己在外交上与许多盟友隔绝。
France and Canada joined Britain this month in announcing a ban on goods from settlements, but Israel has not taken any action against those two countries.
两名以色列知名内阁部长遭到多国制裁,而西班牙、爱尔兰等国也宣布禁止来自定居点的商品。
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government has found itself diplomatically isolated from many of its allies over its conduct in recent years in Gaza and the West Bank.
与此同时,一名以色列高级官员告诉路透社,内塔尼亚胡周日访问了阿布扎比,并会见了阿联酋总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬。内塔尼亚胡办公室和阿联酋外交部暂未置评。
Two prominent Israeli cabinet ministers have been sanctioned by several countries, while Spain, Ireland and others have also announced a ban on goods originating from settlements. Meanwhile, Netanyahu visited Abu Dhabi and met UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan on Sunday, a senior Israeli official told Reuters.
此次访问发生在以色列报纸《国土报》本月报道谢赫·穆罕默德在2023年10月7日前一周半警告内塔尼亚胡,称哈马斯正计划对以色列发动大规模行动之后。《国土报》报道称,该警告未被传递给以色列情报机构或军方。
There was no immediate comment from Netanyahu’s office and the UAE’s foreign ministry. The visit comes after Israeli newspaper Haaretz this month reported that Sheikh Mohamed had warned Netanyahu a week and a half before October 7, 2023 that Hamas was planning a major operation against Israel. The warning was not passed to Israeli intelligence agencies or the military, Haaretz reported.
内塔尼亚胡否认了该报道,并威胁要对该报采取法律行动,目前他正面临一场艰难的连任竞选。反对派领导人指责这位总理应对哈马斯10月7日袭击前的安全失误负责。
Netanyahu, who has denied the report and threatened legal action against the newspaper, is facing a tough re-election campaign. Opposition leaders have accused the prime minister of bearing responsibility for security failures that preceded Hamas’ October 7 attack.
阿联酋拒绝就《国土报》的报道置评,但表示自2020年建立外交关系以来,阿联酋与以色列一直保持着“公开和直接的沟通渠道”。一名阿联酋消息人士早前告诉路透社,阿联酋通过“相关实体”与各国讨论安全事务,而非在“国家领导人层面”。
The UAE has declined to comment on the Haaretz report but has said that the UAE and Israel have maintained “open and direct lines of communication” since establishing diplomatic relations in 2020. A UAE source previously told Reuters that the UAE discusses security matters with countries through the “relevant entities” but not “at the level of national leaders”.
今年早些时候,在以色列总理办公室于5月表示内塔尼亚胡“秘密访问”了该海湾国家并会见了总统后,阿联酋否认谢赫·穆罕默德会见了内塔尼亚胡。
Earlier this year, the UAE denied that Sheikh Mohamed met Netanyahu after the Israeli prime minister’s office said in May that Netanyahu had “secretly visited” the Gulf country and met the president.
一名知情人士当时表示,内塔尼亚胡和谢赫·穆罕默德于3月26日在阿因会面,阿因是阿布扎比的一座绿洲城市,位于该国与阿曼的边境沿线。
A source familiar with the meeting said at the time that Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohammed met in Al Ain, an oasis city in Abu Dhabi along the country’s border with Oman, on March 26.
自在伊朗战争期间遭受袭击以来,阿联酋已加强了与美国和以色列的关系,后者因2020年《亚伯拉罕协议》而与阿联酋建交。与以色列的关系为阿联酋提供了地区影响力的杠杆和通往华盛顿的独特渠道。
Since coming under attack during the Iran war, the UAE has strengthened its relationships with the United States and Israel, with which it opened ties as a result of the 2020 Abraham Accords. The relationship with Israel gives UAE a lever for regional influence and a unique channel to Washington.
