前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯周三表示，拜登政府本应更早对以色列政府在加沙战争中的“可怕行径”作出回应。
Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday said the Biden administration should have responded sooner to the Israeli government’s “horrific conduct” in the Gaza war.
据以色列媒体《国土报》报道，哈里斯在韩国首尔的阿山纪念讲座上发言时指出，美国在“对人权和国际法的道德义务”方面“未能尽到责任”。
Harris was speaking at the Asan Memorial Lecture in Seoul, South Korea, when she said the U.S. had “fallen short” on its “moral obligation to human rights and international law,” Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported.
她说道：“最近一次，我们未能利用自身影响力来遏制以色列政府在加沙战争中的可怕行径——无论是现任政府，它向[以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡]开出了空白支票，还是我们之前的政府，当时我们本应更早、更果断地采取行动。”她在此同时提及了拜登和特朗普两届政府。
“Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government’s horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] a blank check, and our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully,” she said, referring to both the Biden and Trump administrations.
共和党犹太人联盟批评了哈里斯的言论，并在社交媒体上称这一言论“不足为奇”。这些言论与拜登前总统政府应对加沙战争时采取的一贯立场形成鲜明对比。
The Republican Jewish Coalition slammed Harris for the remark, calling it “unsurprising” on the social platform The remarks are a stark contrast to the uniform approach that former President Biden’s administration held in response to the war in Gaza.
美国政府处理这场冲突的方式成为2024年总统选举中的一个关键议题，哈里斯在该次选举中输给了特朗普总统。中东理解研究所与YouGov进行的一项民意调查发现，2020年投票支持拜登的美国人中，有29%的人因拜登支持以色列在加沙发动战争而未在2024年投票支持哈里斯。
The administration’s handling of the conflict became a defining issue during the 2024 presidential election, in which Harris lost to President Trump. The Institute of Middle East Understanding and YouGov conducted a poll that found that 29 percent of Americans who voted for Biden in 2020 did not vote for Harris in 2024 because of the former president’s support of Israel’s war in Gaza.
2023年10月7日，哈马斯对以色列发动恐怖袭击，造成1200人死亡，以色列随后发动了战争。据由哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部称，这场战争已导致超过7.4万人死亡。
Israel launched the war following the Hamas terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which left 1,200 dead. The ensuing war in Gaza killed more than 74,000 according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas.
拜登在2024年4月表示，美国对以色列的支持“坚如磐石”，尽管他后来曾就内塔尼亚胡的战争策略以及该地区平民死亡问题表达过不满。尽管批评这位总理处理战争的方式“对以色列的伤害大于帮助”，但这位前总统对内塔尼亚胡及其政府的支持并未动摇。
Biden said in April 2024 that the U.S. support for Israel was “ironclad,” though he later voiced frustration with Netanyahu over his war tactics and civilian deaths in the territory. The former president’s support for Netanyahu and his government did not falter despite criticizing the prime minister for “hurting Israel more than helping” with his handling of the war.
拜登和哈里斯遭遇了大规模亲巴勒斯坦抗议者的示威活动，这些抗议者呼吁美国停止向以色列运送武器，并指责美国政府授权在中东实施种族灭绝。人权组织以及联合国委托的专家指控以色列在加沙犯下种族灭绝罪，而内塔尼亚胡则否认了这一说法。
Biden and Harris faced massive demonstrations from pro-Palestinian protesters calling on the U.S. to stop sending arms to Israel, accusing the administration of authorizing a genocide in the Middle East. Human rights groups and United Nations-commissioned experts have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, a claim that Netanyahu has denied.
“事实很简单。以色列没有实施种族灭绝，而是阻止了种族灭绝的发生。”内塔尼亚胡上个月在联合国大会前表示，并称这一指控是“本世纪最大的谎言”。2025年10月，特朗普宣布以色列与哈马斯之间停火的第一阶段协议，随后于次年1月成立加沙和平委员会，负责监督该地区的重建工作。
“Here’s the simple truth. Israel didn’t commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide,” Netanyahu said before the United Nations General Assembly last month, calling the accusation the “greatest lie of the century.”Trump announced the first phase of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in October 2025, following this with the creation of the Gaza Board of Peace in January to oversee the territory’s reconstruction.
