以色列前军方领导人加迪·艾森科特有望取代内塔尼亚胡，他盛赞与美国有着“深厚纽带”。以色列国防军前总参谋长加迪·艾森科特希望在周二的选举中取代总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，在美国对犹太国家的支持面临严重压力之际，他盛赞以色列与美国之间的“深厚纽带”。
Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot — who could unseat Netanyahu — touts ‘deep bonds’ with US Former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, who hopes to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tuesday’s elections, is touting the “deep bonds” between Israel and the US at a time when American support for the Jewish state is under severe strain.
艾森科特是内塔尼亚胡的主要潜在挑战者之一，他在加沙战争中遭受了毁灭性的个人损失。他25岁的儿子加尔·梅尔·艾森科特在加沙战斗中阵亡，随后他的两个侄子约格夫·帕齐和毛尔·科恩·艾森科特也相继死亡。
Eisenkot, a leading potential challenger to Netanyahu, has suffered devastating personal losses in the Gaza war. His 25-year-old son, Gal Meir Eisenkot, was killed fighting in Gaza, followed by the deaths of two nephews, Yogev Pazi and Maor Cohen Eisenkot.
如今，在以色列民调中领先的艾森科特正在强调以色列带给美国的战略价值。皮尤研究中心4月份的民调显示，美国公众对犹太国家的支持率已降至37%，而四年前为55%。
Now Eisenkot, who leads in the polls in Israel, is stressing the strategic value Israel brings to the US, as public support for the Jewish state has fallen to 37% in a Pew poll in April, compared to 55% four years earlier.
艾森科特对《纽约邮报》说：“我想向美国公众传达的信息是，以色列作为中东唯一的民主国家，与美国之间的深厚纽带以及我们共同的价值观至关重要。作为以色列国防军总参谋长，我还亲眼看到以色列是一笔巨大的战略资产，包括我们在地区层面对打击ISIS所作的贡献。”他说，事关重大。
“My message to the American public is about the importance of the deep bond between Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, and the United States, and the values we share,” Eisenkot told The Post. “As the IDF chief of staff, I also saw firsthand that Israel is a tremendous strategic asset, including through our regional contribution to the fight against ISIS.”The stakes are high, he said.
艾森科特说：“这是建国以来最关键的选举，以色列民主的根基正是在那时奠定的。这些选举关乎以色列国的身份认同，以及它今后将走的方向。我坚信我们会赢。”在以色列全国选举中，选民投票给政党而非个人，议会120个席位按比例分配。以色列总统责成最有可能组建政府的政党领袖尝试组建至少拥有61个席位的联盟。
“These are the most critical elections since the founding of the state, when the foundations of Israeli democracy were laid,” Eisenkot said.. “These elections are about the identity of the State of Israel and the direction it will take the day after. I am convinced that we will win.”Israelis vote for parties, rather than individuals in national elections, allocating parliament’s 120 seats proportionally. The Israeli president tasks a party leader that has the highest chances of forming a government, to try and form a coalition of at least 61 seats.
这意味着，即使艾森科特的政党获得最多席位，他也可能不会成为下一任总理。
This means it’s possible Eisenkot won’t be the next PM even if his party gets the most seats.
艾森科特还称赞了特朗普总统，后者与内塔尼亚胡建立了密切关系，并于本周表态支持这位以色列总理竞选连任。
Eisenkot also praised President Trump, who has forged close ties with Netanyahu and endorsed the Israeli premier’s reelection this week.
与此同时，在11月中期选举之前，特朗普自己也面临政治逆风，与美以袭击伊朗相关的汽油价格上涨加大了压力。
Trump, meanwhile, faces political headwinds of his own ahead of November’s midterm elections, with rising gas prices linked to the US and Israeli attacks on Iran adding to the pressure.
“特朗普总统为中东做出了巨大的积极贡献，美以联盟非常重要，”艾森科特在谈到特朗普时说。
“President Trump made enormous positive contributions to the Middle East, and the alliance between the US and Israel is very important,” Eisenkot said of Trump.
他自己的经历中有一些元素仿佛出自希腊悲剧——或《旧约》：一位被赋予做出最艰难决定的国家领导人，派遣士兵上战场——包括他自己的儿子，后者最终在那场战争中阵亡。
His own story has elements that could have been ripped from Greek tragedy – or the Old Testament: A national leader entrusted with making the most difficult decisions, sending soldiers into battle — including his own son, who is ultimately killed in that war.
与艾森科特关系密切的人将这一损失视为一个转折点，推动他在离开内塔尼亚胡政府后竞选总理。
Those close to Eisenkot see the loss as a turning point that helped propel him toward a run for prime minister after he left Netanyahu’s government.
内塔尼亚胡在2014年选择此人担任以色列国防军总参谋长，在2023年10月7日的惨烈袭击之后，他又短暂加入内塔尼亚胡政府担任部长。如今，他已成为这位以色列总理最强大的政治对手。
The man who Netanyahu chose to be the IDF chief of staff in 2014, and briefly joined as a minister in his government after the horrific Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, has now emerged as the Israeli premier’s most formidable political rival.
他可能是唯一有能力在投票箱前击败内塔尼亚胡的候选人，后者历经政治挫折和调查而屹立不倒。
He may be the only candidate capable of defeating Netanyahu, who has survived political setbacks and probes, at the ballot box.
艾森科特核心圈子中的一人将他与特朗普称为“子弹兄弟”。两位领导人都曾在为国效力时头部中弹。特朗普在2024年宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的一次暗杀未遂事件中幸存。艾森科特还是一名年轻士兵时，一颗子弹从他口中射入，他身受重伤。他康复后重返军队服役。
One person from Eisenkot’s inner circle described him and Trump as “bullet brothers.”Both leaders were struck by bullets to the head while serving their countries. Trump survived a 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. Eisenkot was seriously wounded as a young soldier when a bullet entered through his mouth. He recovered and returned to military service.
“我非常赞同特朗普‘以实力求和平’的做法，”艾森科特说。“特朗普与以色列联手打击伊朗的决定，超出了任何人的想象。那场军事行动和这次作战都很勇敢。”“接下来会发生什么，这个问题绝对至关重要，因为伊朗人正寻求突破到核武器能力，想成为另一个朝鲜，”他说。
“I very much agree with Trump’s approach of ‘peace through strength,’” Eisenkot said. “Trump’s decision to strike Iran together with Israel, exceeded anything one could have imagined. That military campaign and the operation were courageous.”“The question of what comes next is absolutely critical, as the Iranians seek to break through to nuclear weapons capability and want to become another North Korea,” he said.
他警告说，真主党和哈马斯“已经发展出一套被称为‘不败即胜’的理论”。艾森科特说，曾经有一个时期可以找出潜在共识的领域。“我担心我们可能已经越过了那个节点。事实上，特朗普施加的经济压力正在起作用，让伊朗人产生了一种挫败感，”他说。
He warned that Hezbollah and Hamas “have developed a doctrine known as ‘victory through not losing.’ Eisenkot said there was a time for identifying areas of potential agreement. “I fear we may have moved beyond that point. In fact, the economic pressure Trump is applying is helping, giving the Iranians a sense of defeat,” he said.
他大力称赞特朗普重建加沙的20点计划，同时承诺采取“务实”的做法。
He talked up Trump’s 20-point plan to rebuild Gaza while promising a “realistic” approach.
“我能告诉美国人民的是，未来的以色列政府将懂得如何在安全问题上果断行动，但它会推行比现任政府务实得多的政策，”他说。
“What I can tell the American people is that a future Israeli government will know how to act decisively on security, but it will pursue a much more realistic policy than the current government,” he said.
艾森科特指责内塔尼亚胡在承诺 initial 停火和交换人质之后，出于政治原因拖延美国支持的加沙框架。
Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of stalling US-backed frameworks for Gaza for political reasons, after committing to the initial ceasefire and exchange of hostages.
“他承诺把加沙人送到埃及接受训练，以便他们能作为警察部队返回加沙。他承诺允许一个技术官僚政府启动分阶段重建进程。当然，他还承诺以撤军换取哈马斯解除武装。我将确保以色列履行对美国的承诺，”他说。
“He committed to sending Gazans to Egypt for training so they could return as a police force in Gaza. He committed to allowing a technocratic government to begin a phased reconstruction process. And, of course, he committed to a withdrawal in exchange for the disarmament of Hamas. I will ensure that Israel fulfills its commitments to the United States,” he said.
这位前以色列国防军总参谋长曾多次呼吁谈判并实现临时停火，以解救被哈马斯扣押的人质，他提到了特朗普在解救人质方面的“巨大贡献”。
The former IDF chief, who repeatedly called for negotiations and a temporary ceasefire to free hostages held by Hamas, cited Trump’s “enormous contribution” to freeing them.
“没有他，这件事就不会发生。没有特朗普的参与，那项协议永远不会成为现实，”他说。
“Without him, it would not have happened. Without Trump’s involvement, that agreement would never have materialized,” he said.
内塔尼亚胡表示，他并不想达成协议，而是“希望继续其模糊政策”。
Netanyahu did not want to reach an agreement, he said, rather seeking “to continue his policy of ambiguity.”
他说，内塔尼亚胡“任由其联盟伙伴摆布”。艾森科特呼吁在《亚伯拉罕协议》以及与包括沙特阿拉伯、巴林和阿拉伯联合酋长国在内的温和逊尼派国家的关系正常化方面取得进一步进展。
He said Netanyahu was “at the mercy of his coalition partners.”Eisenkot called for further progress on the Abraham Accords and normalization agreements with moderate Sunni states, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
他提出了一个他称之为“一种中东版北约，在美国的保护伞下，以色列保持低调。从那里，我们可以继续推进关系正常化与和平协议。”艾森科特还赞扬了美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫，他的儿子于2011年去世，他一直支持以色列人质家属。
He proposed what he called a “kind of Middle Eastern NATO, under an American umbrella, with Israel maintaining a low profile. From there, we can continue advancing normalization and peace agreements.”Eisenkot also praised US envoy Steve Witkoff, whose son died in 2011, for supporting families of Israeli hostages.
他说，维特科夫为被劫持者家属提供了“一个可以依靠的肩膀和倾听的耳朵，他们对他赞不绝口”。以色列议会（Knesset）共有120个席位，各政党在每次选举前提交候选人排名名单。在艾森科特政党名单中象征性的第120个位置上的是奥哈德·本·阿米，他是一名哈马斯俘虏的幸存者，于2025年2月在第一份特朗普人质协议中获释，此前他在加沙被劫持了491天。
He said Witkoff offered hostage families “comforting shoulder and a sympathetic ear, and they have nothing but praise for him.”Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, has 120 seats, and parties submit ranked lists of candidates ahead of each election. In the symbolic 120th spot on Eisenkot’s party list is Ohad Ben Ami, a survivor of Hamas captivity who was released in February 2025 in the first Trump hostage deal, after 491 days as a hostage in Gaza.
他的女儿埃拉在Instagram上写道，艾森科特在她家人的那段时期给予了支持，这是悲剧和损失交织在以色列政治中的又一个迹象。
His daughter, Ella, wrote on Instagram about Eisenkot’s support for her family, in another sign of how tragedy and loss are woven into Israeli politics.
她写道：“在那段时间里，艾森科特就像我的父亲一样，我将永远感激他。”
“Eisenkot was like a father to me during that time, and I will be grateful for it forever,” she wrote.
