法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗周二称，西岸地区“极端定居者”对巴勒斯坦人实施的暴力行为“史无前例”。巴罗表示：“西岸地区非法定居点活动的不断扩张，伴随着极端定居者对巴勒斯坦人实施的难以忍受的暴力行为出现前所未有的升级。”
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Tuesday described violence by “extremist settlers” against Palestinians in the West Bank as “unprecedented.”“The development of illegal settlement activity in the West Bank is accompanied by an unprecedented and unparalleled escalation of unbearable violence committed by extremist settlers against Palestinians,” said Barrot.
他指出，这种暴力行为不仅威胁到巴勒斯坦人的安全，也危及以色列的安全以及整个地区的稳定。巴罗称，9月8日，法国与英国、加拿大、西班牙等共10个国家决定禁止国际贸易中涉及来自以色列非法定居点产品的流通。
He said the violence threatened “the security of Palestinians, of course, but also the security of Israel and the stability of the region.”Barrot said France, along with the UK, Canada, Spain and eight other countries, decided Sept. 8 to ban trade in goods originating from Israeli settlements that are illegal under international law.
他强调，在巴勒斯坦举行立法机构选举和总统选举至关重要，这能让巴勒斯坦领导层以新的合法性来体现民众的诉求，从而维护“两国方案”。巴罗介绍，立法选举定于11月28日举行，总统选举则计划于2027年第一季度进行。
He highlighted the importance of holding legislative and presidential elections in Palestine as crucial to allowing the Palestinian leadership to represent the aspirations of its people with renewed legitimacy and preserve the two-state solution. Legislative elections are scheduled for Nov. 28, while presidential elections are planned for the first quarter of 2027, said Barrot.
他还表示，自己已请求欧盟派遣选举观察团，并对欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯宣布将组建该观察团的举措表示欢迎。巴罗强调，法国将坚决反对任何推迟选举的企图。
He said he requested the deployment of an EU election observation mission and welcomed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas’ announcement that the mission would be established. Barrot said France would oppose any postponement of the elections.
“剥夺巴勒斯坦人民选择自己领导人的最基本权利，简直就是丑闻。法国将竭尽全力反对任何推迟立法及总统选举的举动，”他说。他还表示，法国将与欧洲各伙伴国携手合作，确保选举能按既定时间举行。
“Depriving the Palestinian people of the most basic dignity of being able to choose their leaders is a pure scandal,” he said. “France will oppose with all its strength any postponement of the legislative and presidential elections.”He said France would work with its European partners to ensure the elections could take place within the scheduled timeframe.
“对于一个民族而言，没有比通过自由、民主的选举来表达其实现自决的愿望更好的方式了，”巴罗说道。
“There is no better way for a people to stand up and express its aspiration to self-determination than through free and democratic elections,” said Barrot.
此外，他还指出，加沙地带的局势依然“灾难性”，西岸地区的状况也同样严峻。
He also said the situation in the Gaza Strip remained “catastrophic” and it was “just as” serious in the West Bank.
巴罗说，法国一直在继续努力维护走向两国方案的政治道路，包括通过6月12日与以色列和巴勒斯坦代表共同发起的第二次巴黎呼吁。
Barrot said France had continued efforts to maintain a political path toward a two-state solution, including through the second Paris Appeal launched June 12 with Israeli and Palestinian representatives.
