奥斯汀-前美国大使拉姆伊曼纽尔是挑战他的党的反以色列翼，指责民主党人没有一个更广泛的中东政策，除了削减武器资金。
AUSTIN — Former U.S. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel is challenging the anti-Israel wing of his party, accusing Democrats of not having a broader policy on the Middle East besides cutting weapons funding. "I'm interested in being as vigorous and strong about what a security peace agreement would bring to both the United States and to Israel and to the alliance and how you can build on that," Emanuel told Fox News Digital in an interview during the Texas Tribune Festival. "Now, people will criticize it. Fine.
伊曼纽尔在德克萨斯州论坛报节期间接受福克斯新闻数字采访时说：“我有兴趣对安全和平协议将给美国、以色列和联盟带来什么以及如何在此基础上再接再厉保持活力和坚定。”
You got to tell me your plan. And your plan can't just be we're going to cut off funding for weapons. What's your peace idea?
“现在，人们会批评它，好吧。你得告诉我你的计划你的计划不能只是我们要切断武器资金。你的和平想法是什么？你的安全想法是什么？经济一揽子计划是什么？我已经列出了我的，”民主党人继续说道。“我期待着其他想要参选的人。因为你猜怎么着？白宫的不仅仅是椭圆形办公室。它有一个叫战情室的地方。你最好知道该怎么做"伊曼纽尔公开考虑参加2028年总统竞选，他于7月在以色列特拉维夫大学发表了长篇政策演讲，称该国与美国的联盟“处于十字路口”，因为犹太国家越来越不受美国人欢迎，并宣布以色列“从未在战略上更加孤立。“特别是民主党人，对以色列的不满远远超过共和党人。盖洛普2月份的一项研究显示，65%的民主党人在持续的中东冲突中同情巴勒斯坦人，而只有17%的民主党人同情以色列，低于2014年58%的峰值支持率。与此同时，70%的共和党人仍然支持以色列，而13%的共和党人同情巴勒斯坦人，尽管共和党人对这个犹太国家的支持率仍低于2018年87%的峰值。
What's your security idea? What's the economic package? I've laid out mine," the Democrat continued. "I'm looking forward to anybody else wanting to run. Because guess what? The White House comes with more than just the Oval Office.
当被问及犹太复国主义者是否仍然在他的政党中受到欢迎，他是否仍然称自己为犹太复国主义者时，伊曼纽尔笑了。
It comes with a place called the Situation Room. And you better know your way around it." RAHM EMANUEL EXPRESSES SUPPORT FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED IN MICHIGAN SENATE RACE Emanuel, who is openly mulling a 2028 presidential run, gave a lengthy policy speech at Israel's Tel Aviv University in July, saying the country's alliance with the U.S. is "at a crossroads" due to the Jewish state's increasing unpopularity with Americans and declaring Israel "has never been more strategically isolated."
“看，正如我当时所说，我相信联盟，”伊曼纽尔回答说。“我相信美国对联盟的兴趣。但我们走的路是不可持续的。我相信我是诚实的，并带来了坦率。我认为我在和平进程以及盟友以色列国的安全方面所做的工作带来了一定程度的真实性。但你无法维持没有美国人民支持的事情。这位前芝加哥市长还强调，他“对在中东打第三场战争不感兴趣”。
Democrats, in particular, have soured on Israel far more than Republicans. A Gallup study from February showed 65% of Democrats are sympathetic to Palestinians in the ongoing Middle East conflict, while just 17% are sympathetic to Israel, down from peak support in 2014 at 58%. Meanwhile, 70% of Republicans still side with Israel versus the 13% that are sympathetic to Palestinians, though support for the Jewish state among Republicans is still down from its peak of 87% in 2018. RAHM EMANUEL TOUTS WHAT SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM OTHER DEMS AS HE MULLS 2028 PRESIDENTIAL BID When asked whether Jewish Zionists were still welcomed in his party and whether he still calls himself one, Emanuel laughed. "Look, as I said then, I believe in the alliance," Emanuel responded. "I believe in the United States' interest in the alliance. But the path we're on is unsustainable.
伊曼纽尔还代表伊利诺伊州在国会任职三届，在2006年民主党重新夺回国会时担任民主党国会竞选委员会主席，并且是巴拉克·奥巴马总统的第一位白宫幕僚长。2011年至2019年两届芝加哥市长后，他在拜登政府中担任美国驻日本大使。
And I believe I'm being honest and bringing candor to it. And I think I bring a level of authenticity having worked on both the peace process and also the security of an ally, the state of Israel. But you can't sustain something that doesn't have the support of the American people." The former Chicago mayor also stressed he's "not interested in fighting a third war" in the Middle East. Emanuel also served three terms in Congress representing Illinois, chaired the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee when Democrats retook Congress in 2006, and was President Barack Obama's first White House chief of staff. After two terms as mayor of Chicago from 2011 to 2019, he served in the Biden administration as U.S. Ambassador to Japan.
