柏林报纸《taz》周一批评以色列政府拒绝为其通讯员发放工作签证的决定。
The Berlin-based newspaper taz on Monday criticized the Israeli government’s decision to deny a work visa to one of its correspondents.
《taz》记者塞雷娜·比兰切里多年来一直在以色列和巴勒斯坦领土报道，自2026年6月起成为该报的正式通讯员，她也被禁止进入该国。
Taz journalist Serena Bilanceri, who has been reporting from Israel and the Palestinian territories for many years and has been the daily's official correspondent since June 2026, has also been barred from entering the country.
报纸表示：“此举构成对新闻自由的重大侵犯。本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理的政府因此背离了民主法治原则。我们以前只在威权政权中见过此类行为。”《taz》称，比兰切里过去在进出以色列时已经遇到困难。
This action constitutes “a significant infringement on press freedom. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is thereby departing from the principles of democratic rule of law. We are otherwise only familiar with such actions from authoritarian regimes,” the newspaper said. According to taz, Bilanceri had already encountered difficulties when entering and leaving Israel in the past.
去年，她的笔记本电脑在特拉维夫机场被没收，据称是为了进行爆炸物检查。归还时电脑已损坏。比兰切里未获告知没收原因。
Last year, her laptop was confiscated at Tel Aviv Airport, allegedly for an explosives screening. It was returned to her in a damaged condition. Bilanceri was not given a reason for the decision.
据以色列国家新闻网站报道，以色列人口和移民局指控比兰切里在2025年9月和11月发表的两篇文章中呼吁对以色列实施制裁。
According to the Israel National News website, the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority accused Bilanceri of calling for sanctions against Israel in two articles published in September and November 2025.
在这两篇文章中，比兰切里评论了约旦河西岸的非法定居和加沙地带的人道主义危机。以色列当局显然将其解读为呼吁抵制。
In both articles, Bilanceri commented on the illegal settlement of the West Bank and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities apparently interpreted this as a call for a boycott.
以色列国家新闻网站还称，以色列国有法律权利拒绝呼吁抵制以色列的人入境。
Israel National News also said the State of Israel has the legal right to deny entry to people who call for a boycott of Israel.
比兰切里被指控诽谤以色列。犹太事务及反犹太主义斗争部总干事阿维·科恩·斯卡利被引用称，“以专业新闻为幌子呼吁抵制以色列的行为”不会被容忍。
Bilanceri is accused of defaming Israel. Avi Cohen Scali, director general of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, was quoted as saying that “calls for a boycott of Israel under the guise of professional journalism” would not be tolerated.
与此同时，taz编辑委员会作出回应，称“塞雷娜·比兰切利从未在任何时候呼吁抵制以色列国。以色列政府利用对以色列在约旦河西岸和加沙地带行动的合法批评——这种批评也曾被欧盟表达——作为借口来限制新闻自由，这是不可接受的。”比兰切利本人也在社交媒体帖子中强调，她从未主张抵制以色列。
Meanwhile, the editorial board of taz reacted by saying that “Serena Bilanceri has at no point called for a boycott of the State of Israel. It is unacceptable that the Israeli government is using legitimate criticism—which has also been voiced by the EU—of Israel’s actions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as a pretext to restrict press freedom.”Bilanceri herself also emphasized in a social media post that she has never advocated for a boycott of Israel.
“我曾公开支持对以色列政府在约旦河西岸行动的金融和军事制裁，特别是考虑到定居者实施的暴力行为以及当时加沙地带的人道主义状况。”“‘并且，在评论文章中表达自己的观点——在这种情况下，就是上文提到的两篇文章——是完全正常的，而且确实是记者职责的一部分。对于那些做出此决定、与以色列媒体交谈但未与我交谈的人，我想说：你们并不是在禁止‘反以色列行为者’。你们是在禁止那些批评你们政府行动的外国记者，’她补充道。
“I have spoken out in favor of financial and military sanctions in response to the Israeli government’s actions in the West Bank, particularly in light of the violence perpetrated by settlers and the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip at the time.”“And it is completely normal—indeed, it is part of a journalist’s job—to express one’s opinion in an opinion piece—in this case, in the two articles mentioned. To those who made this decision and spoke with the Israeli media but not with me, I would like to say: You are not banning ‘anti-Israeli actors.’ You are banning foreign journalists who have criticized your government’s actions,” she added.
自2025年以来，比兰切利并不是第一个被拒绝入境以色列的记者。在此之前，还有四名记者受到了同样的待遇，很可能也是基于该法律。他们包括法国记者爱丽丝·弗鲁萨尔、西班牙记者克雷萨尔·卡斯蒂略、法国摄影记者弗雷德里克·勒布朗以及意大利记者和摄影师亚历山德罗·斯特凡内利。
Bilanceri is not the first journalist to be denied entry to Israel since 2025. Before her, four other journalists received the same treatment, likely also on the basis of this law. They include French journalist Alice Froussard, Spanish journalist Queralt Castillo, French photojournalist Frederique Le Brun and Alessandro Stefanelli, an Italian journalist and photographer.
由于其他德国和欧洲媒体代表也可能经历类似待遇，taz呼吁德国联邦政府“敦促以色列政府尊重基本权利和人权——包括言论自由和新闻自由——并允许taz员工塞雷娜·比兰切利无限制地重新进入以色列并恢复她在那里的工作。”
Since other German and European media representatives have experienced or could experience similar treatment, taz called on the German federal government “to urge the Israeli government to respect fundamental and human rights—including freedom of expression and freedom of the press—and to allow taz employee Serena Bilanceri to re-enter Israel and resume her work there without restriction.”
