英国极右翼政党“复兴英国党”领袖周六表示,英国没有义务向以色列提供无条件支持,此前有报道称以色列总理内塔尼亚胡已下令其政府在马尔维纳斯群岛(英国称福克兰群岛)主权争端中支持阿根廷。
The leader of Britain's far-right Restore Britain party said Saturday that the UK was under no obligation to provide Israel with unconditional support, following a report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered his government to back Argentina in its sovereignty dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands.
“为什么如果以色列领导层拒绝尊重我们的国家利益,英国却要被期望捍卫以色列的国家利益?”鲁珀特·洛在美社交媒体平台上写道。他的言论是在《每日电讯报》周六早些时候报道内塔尼亚胡已下令以色列支持阿根廷在马岛立场之后发表的。
"Why should Britain be expected to defend Israel's national interests if Israel's leadership refuses to respect ours?" Rupert Lowe wrote on US social media platform on His remarks came after The Telegraph reported earlier Saturday that Netanyahu had ordered Israel to support Argentina's position on the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Islas Malvinas.
“复兴英国党”领袖表示:“英国没有义务给予任何外国政府无条件的政治或军事支持。”
"Britain is not obliged to give any foreign government unconditional political or military support," the leader of the far-right Restore Britain party said.
他主张英国外交政策应以国家利益为导向,而非对其他国家的承诺。“只有英国利益,只有英国利益,”他说,并称这是他党的立场。“马尔维纳斯群岛是英国的,将继续是英国的,”他补充道。
He argued that British foreign policy should be guided by national interests rather than commitments to other countries. "British interests, and British interests only," he said, describing that as his party's position. "The Falkland Islands are British, and will remain British," he added.
阿根廷上周请求国际海洋法法庭(ITLOS)介入,阻止英国在群岛周边进行近海石油开发,该争端因此重新受到关注。
The dispute has recently drawn renewed attention after Argentina asked the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) last week to intervene and block British offshore oil development around the islands.
“海狮”项目是一个大型深水近海石油开发项目,位于马尔维纳斯群岛以北约220公里(137英里)处。
The Sea Lion project is a major deepwater offshore oil development located about 220 kilometers (137 miles) north of the Falkland Islands.
2013年,马尔维纳斯群岛居民在公投中以压倒性多数投票赞成继续作为英国海外领土。在投出的1517票中,1513票赞成,3票反对。
In 2013, the people of the Falkland Islands voted overwhelmingly in favor of remaining a UK Overseas Territory. Of 1,517 votes cast in the referendum, 1,513 were in favor and three against.
