美国参议员克里斯·范霍伦重申，要求对自2022年以来在被占领的约旦河西岸被以色列杀害的九名美国公民追究责任。
US Senator Chris Van Hollen renewed his call for accountability for nine American citizens killed by Israel in the occupied West Bank since 2022.
“我想花几分钟时间，向我的同僚们讲述这九名美国公民的情况，他们在过去四年多时间里被以色列定居者或以色列安全部队杀害，”范霍伦在参议院发言中表示，该发言视频发布在他的X账号上。
“I want to take a few minutes to tell my colleagues about these nine American citizens who’ve been killed by Israeli settlers or Israeli security forces in just over the last four years,” Van Hollen said in a Senate floor speech shared in a video on his X account.
他点名了死者：78岁的奥马尔·阿萨德；半岛电视台记者希林·阿布·阿克莱，51岁；塔乌菲克·阿卜杜勒·贾巴尔，17岁；穆罕默德·赫杜尔，17岁；土耳其裔美国活动家艾森努尔·埃兹吉·埃伊吉，26岁；阿梅尔·拉比，14岁；赛夫·穆萨莱特，20岁；哈米斯·阿亚德，40岁；以及纳斯拉拉·阿布·西亚姆，19岁。
He named the dead as Omar Assad, 78; Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, 51; Tawfic Abdel Jabbar, 17; Mohammad Khdour, 17; Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26; Amer Rabee, 14; Saif Musallet, 20; Khamis Ayyad, 40; and Nasrallah Abu Siyam, 19.
他说，2022年1月，以色列士兵在一处检查站拦下阿萨德，“将他从车里拖出来。他们把他的双手反绑在身后。他们堵住他的嘴。他们蒙住他的眼睛，把他扔在地上。”阿萨德“死于应激性心脏病发作”，他说。
He said Israeli soldiers stopped Assad at a checkpoint in January 2022 and “dragged him from his car. They bound his hands behind his back. They gagged him. They blindfolded him, and they left him lying on the ground outside.”Assad “died of a stress-induced heart attack,” he said.
阿布·阿克莱于2022年5月在杰宁难民营附近被以色列安全部队击中头部身亡。“她被杀害时，穿着一件醒目的蓝色背心，清楚地标明了她是记者身份，”范霍伦说。
Abu Akleh was shot in the head and killed by Israeli security forces near the Jenin refugee camp in May 2022. “When she was killed, she was wearing a bright blue vest, clearly identifying her as a journalist,” Van Hollen said.
范霍伦表示，在西雅图长大的埃伊吉于2024年9月“被一名以色列士兵从约200米外击中头部”。他补充说，拉比“被两种不同的武器击中了11枪。”
Eygi, who was raised in Seattle, was “shot in the head by an Israeli soldier from approximately 200 meters” in September 2024, he said. He added that Rabee was “shot 11 times by two different weapons.”
范霍伦还引用了美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比的话，后者称穆萨莱特的遇害“是一种犯罪和恐怖行为”。“他甚至说必须追究责任。那么为什么至今没有任何问责？”范霍伦说。
Van Hollen also cited US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who called Musallet’s killing “a criminal and terrorist act.”“He even said there must be accountability. So why has there been no accountability?”Van Hollen said.
在提到每一个案例后，他都重复道：“无人被追究责任。”“九名美国公民遇难。没有任何问责，”他说。
After each case, he repeated: “No one has been held accountable.”“Nine American citizens dead. No accountability,” he said.
上个月，参议院以47票对51票否决了范霍伦牵头的一项决议。该决议原本要求国务卿在30天内提交一份关于以色列人权状况的报告，内容包括自2022年1月以来以色列军队或占领者杀害美国公民的情况以及任何相关调查的进展。
Last month, the Senate voted 47-51 to block a resolution led by Van Hollen. It would have required the secretary of state to submit a report on Israel’s human rights practices within 30 days, including the killings of US citizens by Israeli forces or occupiers since January 2022 and the status of any investigations.
