活动人士与绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基对罗斯班克油田与一家以色列公司的联系表示担忧。
Campaigners and Green Party leader Zack Polanski raise concerns about Rosebank's ties to an Israeli firm.
杰克·芬威克、苏珊·赫尔姆 首相已被警告称，批准一个备受争议的油田项目可能会违反其本人对约旦河西岸非法以色列定居点实施的制裁。
By Jack Fenwick, Susan Hulme The prime minister has been warned that approving a controversial oil field risks contravening his own sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
政府即将对是否推进英国最大的未开发油田——位于设得兰群岛附近的罗斯班克（Rosebank）项目做出迟来的决定。
The government will soon have to make a long-awaited decision on whether to go ahead with Rosebank, Britain's largest untapped oil field, which sits off Shetland.
环保活动人士和绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）分别致信安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）和外交大臣，对罗斯班克与一家以色列公司——以色列得列克集团（Delek Group）的联系表示担忧。
Environmental campaigners and Green Party leader Zack Polanski have both separately written to Andy Burnham and the foreign secretary to raise concerns about Rosebank's links to an Israeli company, Delek Group.
去年，得列克集团被列入联合国数据库，该数据库记录了涉嫌为被占领巴勒斯坦领土上的定居点提供服务或公用设施的公司。
Last year Delek Group was included in a UN database of firms which allegedly provide services or utilities to support settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.
该公司的一位发言人对《每日电讯报》表示，该公司已不再参与以色列定居点事务，并被错误地列入该数据库。
A spokesman for the company told the Daily Telegraph it no longer had any involvement in Israeli settlements and was wrongly included in the database.
得列克集团控制着伊萨卡能源公司（Ithaca Energy），后者持有罗斯班克20%的股份。
Delek Group controls Ithaca Energy, which holds a 20% stake in Rosebank.
环保组织“Uplift”曾于2023年对罗斯班克项目提起法律诉讼，导致该项目的勘探决定至今延误。该组织协助起草了一封致伯纳姆和外交大臣埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）的信函。
The campaign group Uplift, whose legal challenge against the Rosebank project in 2023 led to the ongoing delay over a decision on exploration, has helped organise a letter to Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.
BBC新闻看到的一封信显示，“停止罗斯班克”运动（Stop Rosebank）和绿色和平组织（Greenpeace）的活动人士在“Uplift”的协助下，要求政府澄清得列克集团是否会违反上个月宣布的制裁规定。
In a letter seen by BBC News, campaigners from Stop Rosebank and Greenpeace, with assistance from Uplift, have asked the government to clarify whether Delek will fall foul of the sanctions announced last month.
此外，波兰斯基也致信米利班德，询问政府将采取什么步骤来确保英国油气生产的收入不会资助非法定居点。
Separately, Polanski has also written to Miliband, asking what steps the government would take to make sure revenue from UK oil and gas production did not finance illegal settlements.
他说：“罗斯班克是对工党提出的制裁机制是否切合实际的一次考验。”
He said: "Rosebank is a test of whether Labour's proposed sanctions regime is fit for purpose.
“被联合国列入黑名单、在非法定居点运营的公司，不应获得北海油气收入的资助。”上个月，米利班德在宣布针对为定居点扩张提供基础设施等服务的公司和个人的制裁措施时，释放了英国立场趋于强硬的信号。英国的制裁还将禁止进口来自非法定居点的商品。
"Companies blacklisted by the UN for operating in the illegal settlements should not be financed by oil and gas revenues from the North Sea." Last month, Miliband signalled a hardening of the UK's position when he announced action against companies and individuals who provide services such as infrastructure to settlement expansion. The UK sanctions will also ban imports of goods from illegal settlements.
环保组织Uplift在致伯恩山的信中，要求他“明确确认Delek是否会受到新计划措施的限制”。
In its letter to Burnham, Uplift asked him to "confirm, unequivocally, whether Delek will be caught by the new planned measures".
他们补充道：“如果没有，请解释这如何与政府制裁那些资助或协助非法定居者的既定意图相一致？”
They added: "If it is not, please explain how that is consistent with the government's stated intent to sanction those who finance or facilitate illegal settlements?"
伊萨卡能源公司（Ithaca Energy）的一位发言人对英国广播公司（BBC）表示：“伊萨卡能源公司是一家在伦敦证券交易所上市的公司，也是富时100指数成分股公司，遵循最高标准的的公司治理。
A spokesperson for Ithaca Energy told the BBC: "Ithaca Energy is a London Stock Exchange listed company which is a member of the FTSE 100, and which is governed by the highest standards of corporate governance.
“伊萨卡是北海和苏格兰最大的投资者之一，是一家负责任的雇主，并通过纳税为英国财政部以及英国的能源安全作出了重大贡献。”
"Ithaca is one of the biggest investors in the North Sea and Scotland, is a responsible employer and is a major contributor to both the UK Treasury through tax payments and to the UK's energy security."
Delek集团的一位发言人对《每日电讯报》表示：“Delek集团被错误地列入了联合国数据库。
A spokesman for Delek Group told the Telegraph: "Delek Group has been wrongly included in the UN database.
“我们将与法律顾问一起，对此提出正式质疑，并要求立即将我们的名字从联合国数据库中删除。”
"Together with our legal advisers, we intend to formally challenge this and request the immediate removal of our name from the UN database."
是否批准罗斯班克（Rosebank）油田以及阿伯丁以东的杰克道（Jackdaw）气田的问题，已具有巨大的政治意义。
The question of whether to approve Rosebank, as well as the Jackdaw gas field east of Aberdeen, has become hugely politically significant.
罗斯班克于2023年获得上一届保守党政府的批准，但该决定遭到包括Uplift在内的活动人士的法律挑战并被成功推翻。
Rosebank was approved by the previous Conservative government in 2023, but that decision was successfully challenged in the courts by campaigners including Uplift.
这一决定现在由能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布尔（Miatta Fahnbulleh）作出，但它将被视为伯恩山对油气问题更广泛思考的一个重要风向标。
The decision now lies with the Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh, but will be seen as an important indication of Burnham's wider thinking on oil and gas.
人们普遍认为，米利班德在担任基尔·斯塔默爵士的影子能源大臣（注：此处原文为energy secretary，译者按语境处理）时曾反对罗斯班克项目。
Miliband was widely thought to have been opposed to Rosebank when he served as Sir Keir Starmer's energy secretary.
伯纳姆多次强调需要采取“灵活”的能源政策，并被认为支持在北海那些已经获得开采许可的地区继续进行石油勘探。
Burnham has spoken repeatedly of the need for a "flexible" approach to energy and is believed to be in favour of drilling more where licenses already exist in the North Sea.
这一决定也可能影响到英国与美国之间的关系：特朗普总统一直要求英国政府在北海增加石油勘探活动。
The decision could also have implications for the relationship between the UK and the US. President Trump has placed pressure on successive UK prime ministers to drill more in the North Sea.
虽然唐宁街对特朗普没有批评英国最近对西岸实施的制裁感到宽慰，但美国政府表示不会采取同样的行动。
While Downing Street is relieved that Trump has not lashed out at the government's recent West Bank sanctions, his administration has said the US will not take the same course of action.
Uplift组织的执行董事泰莎·汗（Tessa Khan）表示：“北海石油开采所得的任何利润都不应流向那些本身可能受到英国制裁的公司。”英国外交部拒绝对此事发表评论。
Tessa Khan, executive director at Uplift, said "not one penny of North Sea oil profits" should go to a company which "itself now risks being sanctioned by the UK". The Foreign Office declined to comment.
自1967年中东战争以来，以色列在占领西岸和东耶路撒冷后建立了约160个定居点，这些定居点居住着70万犹太人；约有330万巴勒斯坦人与他们共同生活。
Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the 1967 Middle East war. An estimated 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
根据国际法，这些定居点是非法的，而且近几个月来，定居者针对巴勒斯坦人的暴力行为有所增加。
Settlements are illegal under international law, and there has been a rise in violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank by settlers in recent months.
以色列批评英国的制裁措施，指责英国政府奉行“反以色列的政策”。
Israel has criticised the UK sanctions, accusing the government of "anti-Israel policies".
