以色列银行担心因资助被占领的约旦河西岸定居点扩张而面临新的国际制裁，尤其是英国计划采取的措施，以色列《国土报》周三报道称。
Israeli banks fear new international sanctions over financing settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, particularly measures planned by Britain, Israeli daily Haaretz reported Wednesday.
该报称，以色列银行协会已准备了一份评估报告，警告称预期的英国制裁可能会影响以色列的金融机构。
The newspaper said the Association of Banks in Israel had prepared an assessment warning that anticipated British sanctions could affect Israeli financial institutions.
报告指出，这些措施可能针对参与定居点建设或融资的实体，其范围将超出那些与以色列占领者暴力行为有关的对象。
The measures could target entities involved in settlement construction or financing, extending beyond those implicated in violence by Israeli occupiers, according to the report.
各银行拒绝澄清是否将为希望参与耶路撒冷与马阿勒阿杜米姆定居点之间E1定居点项目政府招标的承包商提供担保。
Banks are declining to clarify whether they will provide guarantees to contractors seeking to participate in government tenders for the E1 settlement project between Jerusalem and the Maale Adumim settlement.
该项目位于耶路撒冷以东，旨在通过没收巴勒斯坦土地将马阿勒阿杜米姆与耶路撒冷连接起来，从而将被占领的东耶路撒冷与被占领的约旦河西岸分隔开来。
Located east of Jerusalem, the project aims to connect Maale Adumim to the city through the confiscation of Palestinian land, separating occupied East Jerusalem from the occupied West Bank.
9月8日，包括英国、法国、西班牙和加拿大在内的12个国家宣布计划禁止与被占领巴勒斯坦领土上的以色列定居点进行贸易。
On Sept. 8, 12 countries, including Britain, France, Spain and Canada, announced plans to prohibit trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
英国还宣布计划扩大其制裁框架，以涵盖参与定居点建设或融资的个人和实体。
Britain also announced plans to expand its sanctions framework to cover individuals and entities involved in settlement construction or financing.
据《国土报》报道，英国的这些措施需要立法支持，而立法过程可能需要六到九个月时间。
According to Haaretz, the British measures require legislation that could take six to nine months to pass.
银行协会的代表已与以色列外交部、中央银行和战略事务部的官员会面，讨论潜在后果带来的担忧。
Representatives of the banking association have met with officials from Israel's Foreign Ministry, central bank and Strategic Affairs Ministry to discuss concerns over the potential consequences.
该协会的评估报告警告称，如果制裁获得批准，可能会影响与定居点扩张相关的金融机构。国际金融机构也可能在该立法生效前，对相关交易进行更严格的审查。
The association's assessment warned that sanctions, if approved, could affect financial institutions linked to settlement expansion. International financial institutions could also tighten scrutiny of related transactions before the legislation takes effect.
以色列银行对制裁威胁表示担忧，并在一份声明中指出，可能出现的各种情景及其影响范围广泛。
The Bank of Israel expressed concern over the threat of sanctions, saying in a statement that the range of scenarios and implications is broad.
银行尚未就为参与E1招标的建筑公司提供融资或担保的立场作出明确说明。
Banks have yet to clarify their position on financing or providing guarantees to construction companies participating in the E1 tenders.
《国土报》援引一位银行消息人士的话称：“我们还得再耐心等一个月，希望这个问题能平息下来。选举一周后，情况可能会有所不同。”该消息人士指的是定于10月27日举行的以色列议会投票。
"We have to be patient for another month and hope this issue calms down. Things may look different a week after the elections," Haaretz quoted a banking source as saying, referring to Israel's parliamentary vote scheduled for Oct. 27.
9月27日，以色列总检察长加利·巴哈拉夫-米亚拉将E1建设招标的投标截止日期推迟了一个月，其余程序留待以色列议会选举之后进行。
On Sept. 27, Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara postponed the deadline for submitting bids for the E1 construction tender by one month, leaving the remaining procedures until after the Knesset elections.
以色列当局原计划于10月25日就2167套定居点住房进行招标，加上8月另一项招标中的1234套，总数将达到3401套。
Israeli authorities had planned to put 2,167 settlement housing units out to tender on Oct. 25, in addition to 1,234 units included in a separate tender in August, bringing the total to 3,401.
根据巴勒斯坦官方数据，约75万以色列占领者居住在包括被占领的东耶路撒冷在内的约旦河西岸被占领区的194个定居点和400个定居点前哨中。
About 750,000 Israeli occupiers live in 194 settlements and 400 settlement outposts across the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, according to official Palestinian figures.
联合国多次重申，以色列在巴勒斯坦被占领区建立的定居点违反国际法，并警告称这些定居点损害了两国方案的前景。
The UN has repeatedly affirmed that Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under international law, warning that they undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
