以色列总统授权加迪·艾森科特尝试组建该国下一届政府，由此开启了一场错综复杂的谈判进程，可能终结任职已久的总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的统治。
Israel’s president tapped Gadi Eisenkot to try to form the country’s next government, kicking off a tortuous negotiating process that could oust long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
国际危机组织专家告诉《世界报》，尽管艾森科特与内塔尼亚胡在风格和实质上存在差异，但两人都反映了“主导以色列政治的整体反巴勒斯坦立场”。
While Eisenkot and Netanyahu differ in style and substance, both men reflect the “monolithically anti-Palestinian stance that dominates Israeli politics,” an International Crisis Group expert told Le Monde.
一位以色列分析人士表示，两人在伊朗问题上也几乎没有“真正的区别”，尽管美国和以色列最近的选举给这场持续发酵的冲突增添了更多不确定性：特朗普总统周日表示，美国进一步实施打击的可能性“极低”，而伊朗——其声称对共和党在中期选举中的惨败负有责任——称在“震惊”的选举结果出炉后，谈判已暂停。
There is also little “real difference” between the two on Iran, an Israeli analyst said, though recent elections in the US and Israel have created further uncertainty around the simmering conflict: President Donald Trump said on Sunday that further US strikes were “highly unlikely,” while Iran — which has taken credit for Republicans’ poor midterm showing — said negotiations were paused following the “shock” election result.
