美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比参观了位于以色列拉姆拉的以色列国家紧急前院医疗和血液服务组织总部（MDA），时间为2025年6月29日。——路透社助手被指压制关于9名巴勒斯坦裔美国人被杀报道的消息。《纽约时报》调查引述15名美国官员、9名前外交官及文件。哈克比否认指控，称该报道缺乏事实依据。
US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, takes part in a tour at MDA — Israel's National Emergency Pre-Hospital Medical and Blood Services Organisation Headquarters in Ramla, Israel, June 29, 2025. — Reuters Aide accused of hushing report on killings of 9 Palestinian Americans. NYT investigation draws on 15 US officials, 9 ex-diplomats, documents. Huckabee rejects allegations, describing report as lacking factual basis.
《纽约时报》的一项调查发现，美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比的一名高级顾问被指控阻挠、延迟或重写关于以色列政府行动的外交报告，以将本杰明·内塔尼亚胡总理的政府呈现得更加有利。
A senior adviser to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee allegedly blocked, delayed or rewrote diplomatic reports on Israeli government actions to present Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in a more favourable light, a New York Times investigation has found.
该调查指出，2025年4月加入驻耶路撒冷美国大使馆的大卫·米尔斯坦是被指控干预有关以色列定居点扩张、被占领西岸以色列定居者暴力行为以及加沙人道主义危机报道的官员。
The investigation identified David Milstein, who joined the US Embassy in Jerusalem in April 2025, as the official accused of intervening in reporting on Israeli settlement expansion, violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
该报表示，它采访了15名曾与米尔斯坦合作的美国官员、9名前外交官，并审阅了数十份内部电报、备忘录及其他通信。
The newspaper said it interviewed 15 US officials who had worked with Milstein, nine former diplomats and reviewed dozens of internal cables, memos and other communications.
官员们告诉该报，他们担心华盛顿的决策者没有收到关于现场事件的完整或准确的情况。
Officials told the newspaper they were concerned that policymakers in Washington were not receiving a complete or accurate account of events on the ground.
据称阻挠定居点扩张报道 最重大的案例之一涉及以色列在3月底批准创纪录数量的定居点，这些定居点位于被占领的西岸。
Settlement expansion report allegedly blocked One of the most significant cases concerned Israel’s approval of a record number of settlements in the occupied West Bank in late March.
大使馆工作人员在得出结论认为该举动可能与特朗普总统明确表示反对吞并该领土的立场相冲突后，为华盛顿起草了一份紧急报告。三名了解该过程的美国官员告诉该报，米尔斯坦阻止了该报告的发送。
Embassy staff drafted an urgent report for Washington after concluding that the move could conflict with President Donald Trump’s stated opposition to annexation of the territory. Three US officials briefed on the process told the newspaper that Milstein blocked the report from being sent.
据称的干预引发了关于华盛顿是否能及时获得可能影响美国外交目标的以色列政策评估的疑问。关于定居者暴力行为的报告据称被重新编写调查还详细描述了在以色列定居者在约旦河西岸实施暴力行为的使馆报告中据称存在的干预行为。
The alleged intervention raised questions about whether Washington was receiving timely assessments of Israeli policies that could affect US diplomatic objectives. Report on settler violence allegedly recast The investigation also detailed alleged interference in embassy reporting on violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
随着春季袭击事件增加，使馆人员试图报告以色列政府未能采取足够行动的担忧。然而，根据报纸引用的三位官员的说法，发往华盛顿的一份电报却赞扬以色列“打压”这些袭击。
As attacks increased in the spring, embassy staff sought to report concerns that the Israeli government was failing to take adequate action. Instead, according to three officials cited by the newspaper, a cable sent to Washington praised Israel for “cracking down” on the attacks.
报纸报道称，其他评估也以比使馆人员原始报告更有利的光线呈现了以色列的行动。加沙援助评估据称被替换另一起案件涉及以色列在2025年停止援助运送后，加沙的人道主义状况。
The newspaper reported that other assessments also presented Israeli efforts in a more favourable light than the original reporting prepared by embassy staff. Gaza aid assessment allegedly replaced Another case concerned the humanitarian situation in Gaza after Israel halted aid deliveries in 2025.
美国外交官起草了一份电报，警告情况恶化以及对美国支持的加沙人道主义基金会（GHF）的担忧，该基金会被设立为一种替代性援助分配机制。
US diplomats drafted a cable warning of worsening conditions and concerns about the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which had been established as an alternative aid-distribution mechanism.
米尔斯坦据称发送了一份单独的电报，该电报对该基金会的描述比原始评估更为有利。这一据称的差异引发了人们对华盛顿是否获得了关于援助分配相关风险和不足的准确情况的担忧。关于九名巴勒斯坦裔美国人的报告调查还称，米尔斯坦压制了一份详细的使馆报告，该报告涉及以色列定居者和安全部队在被占领的约旦河西岸，在四年内杀害九名巴勒斯坦裔美国人的事件。
Milstein reportedly sent a separate cable that portrayed the foundation more favourably than the original assessment. The reported discrepancy raised concerns about whether Washington was being given an accurate account of the risks and shortcomings associated with aid distribution. Report on nine Palestinian Americans The investigation also alleged that Milstein suppressed a detailed embassy report concerning the killings of nine Palestinian Americans by Israeli settlers and security forces in the occupied West Bank over four years.
该报告是在国会议员寻求有关这些死亡的信息之后准备的。根据熟悉此事的官员的说法，使馆人员发现，大多数调查几乎没有进展，有些已被结案，且没有人被起诉。
The report had been prepared after members of Congress sought information about the deaths. According to officials familiar with the matter, embassy staff found that most investigations had made little progress, some had been closed, and no one had been prosecuted.
米尔斯坦据称主张，使馆应改为发送一封信，称以色列正在妥善处理这些调查。
Milstein reportedly argued that the embassy should instead send a letter stating that Israel was handling the investigations properly.
据称的干预之所以尤为重要，是因为立法者正在向美国政府寻求有关美国公民死亡情况以及对这些死亡事件调查进展的信息。
The alleged intervention was particularly significant because lawmakers were seeking information from the US government about the deaths of American citizens and the status of investigations into them.
使馆报告据称大幅下降 该报称，米尔斯坦在抵达耶路撒冷后不久就开始要求对处理巴勒斯坦事务的使馆部门发出的通信进行审批。
Embassy reporting reportedly fell sharply The newspaper said Milstein began requiring approval of communications from the embassy section dealing with Palestinian affairs soon after arriving in Jerusalem.
根据直接了解该流程的官员的说法，电报量从每周几份下降至每月仅几份。一些工作人员据称不愿准备评估报告，因为他们担心这些报告会被阻挠、延迟或被改写。
According to officials with direct knowledge of the process, the volume of cables fell from several a week to only a handful a month. Some staff members reportedly became reluctant to prepare assessments because they feared the reports would be blocked, delayed or rewritten.
前美国外交官告诉该报，向华盛顿隐瞒或实质性改变信息可能会削弱政策制定过程，因为这会阻止高级官员基于对事态发展的全面评估作出决策。
Former US diplomats told the newspaper that withholding or materially altering information sent to Washington could undermine the policymaking process by preventing senior officials from making decisions based on a full assessment of developments.
目前尚不清楚赫克比对所谓的干预了解多少，或者这些干预是否影响了白宫政策。官员告诉该报，大使有时会与米尔斯坦合作以限制或重塑报告，但当他认为助手已经越界时，也会对他进行约束。
It remains unclear how much Huckabee knew about the alleged interventions or whether they affected White House policy. Officials told the newspaper that the ambassador had sometimes worked with Milstein to limit or reshape reporting, but had also reined in the aide when he believed he had gone too far.
赫克比否认指控 赫克比驳回了调查的发现，但未就个别案例作详细说明。
Huckabee rejects allegations Huckabee rejected the investigation’s findings but did not address the individual cases in detail.
他说：“该报道试图拼凑的要素如此缺乏事实依据，以至于它与《纽约时报》其他荒唐的尝试不相上下。”他接着补充道：“我个人且明确地否认你们所提出的所谓‘故事’的各个要素。”国务院回应称：“国务院全体团队仍专注于推进特朗普总统的‘美国优先’议程。”白宫则将该报转交给国务院处理。
“The elements of the story is trying to assemble are so lacking in fact that it ranks up with other Times farcical endeavors,” he said, adding: “I personally and categorically refute the elements of your proposed ‘story’.”The State Department responded: “The entire team at State remains focused on advancing President Trump’s America First agenda.”The White House referred the newspaper to the department.
调查还指出，以往的美国驻以色列大使也有政治顾问试图影响报道，审阅或修改大使馆通报可以成为高级官员职责的一部分。然而，对米尔斯坦的核心指控是，他超出了常规审阅范围，通过压制报告或改变其实质来实施干预。
The investigation also noted that previous US ambassadors to Israel had political advisers who sought to influence reporting, and that reviewing or amending embassy communications can form part of senior officials’ responsibilities. The central allegation against Milstein, however, is that he went beyond routine review by suppressing reports or changing their substance.
这些发现引发了对外交报道监督的更广泛质疑，即政治因素是否可能阻碍美国政策制定者获得对其密切盟友行动的坦诚评估。
The findings raise broader questions about oversight of diplomatic reporting and whether political considerations can prevent US policymakers from receiving candid assessments of the actions of a close ally.
