以色列媒体报道，周三，受命组建以色列下一届政府的加迪·艾森科特警告看守总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，不要在未面临直接威胁的情况下发动军事或安全行动。
Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming Israel's next government, warned caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against launching military or security operations without an immediate threat, Israeli media reported Wednesday.
据以色列Ynet新闻网站报道，艾森科特在致内塔尼亚胡的信中表示，总理领导的看守政府已不再享有以色列议会（克内塞特）的信任。艾森科特是“正直党”领袖。艾森科特说：“只有46名议员仍然支持你继续担任总理。”
In a letter to Netanyahu, Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, said the prime minister was heading a caretaker government that no longer enjoyed the confidence of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, according to the Ynet news website. “Only 46 Knesset members still support your continued tenure as prime minister,” said Eisenkot.
他强调，在这一政治敏感过渡期，内塔尼亚胡有责任在做出安全和国家安全决策时格外谨慎。
He stressed that Netanyahu had a responsibility to exercise particular caution when making security and national decisions during the politically sensitive transition period.
他警告说：“在没有直接、紧迫且无法推迟的威胁的情况下部署安全部队，可能对以色列民主以及公众对政府机构的信任造成毁灭性后果。”
“The deployment of security forces without a direct and immediate threat that cannot be delayed could have devastating consequences for Israeli democracy and public trust in government institutions,” he warned.
艾森科特敦促内塔尼亚胡展现国家责任感和克制，并警告不要采取“危险举动”，这些举动可以等到一个享有议会信任的新政府宣誓就职后再进行。
Eisenkot urged Netanyahu to demonstrate national responsibility and restraint, warning against “dangerous moves” that could wait until a new government enjoying the Knesset's confidence was sworn in.
周日，以色列总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格正式授权艾森科特组建政府。此前，代表67名议员的议会党团推荐了艾森科特，而支持内塔尼亚胡的议员为46人。另有7名议员拒绝推荐任何一位候选人。艾森科特有28天时间组建执政联盟，可延长14天。
Israeli President Isaac Herzog formally tasked Eisenkot with forming a government on Sunday after parliamentary factions representing 67 lawmakers recommended him, compared with 46 backing Netanyahu. Seven lawmakers declined to recommend either candidate. Eisenkot has 28 days to form a governing coalition, with a possible 14-day extension.
这一授权是在以色列10月27日议会选举后作出的。在120个席位的议会中，内塔尼亚胡阵营获得53席，反对派获得48席，阿拉伯政党获得19席，两大主要阵营均未获得绝对多数。
The mandate followed Israel's Oct. 27 parliamentary elections, in which Netanyahu's bloc secured 53 seats, the opposition 48 and Arab parties 19 in the 120-member Knesset, leaving neither main bloc with an outright majority.
艾森科特组建政府的努力因潜在联盟伙伴之间的分歧而变得复杂，分歧涉及与阿拉伯政党的合作以及极端正统派党团要求的兵役豁免问题。
Eisenkot's efforts to form a government have been complicated by disagreements among prospective coalition partners about cooperation with Arab parties and military service exemptions demanded by ultra-Orthodox factions.
艾森科特与“以色列是我们的家园”党领袖阿维格多·利伯曼周一同意寻求与极端正统派政党进行谈判，而利伯曼拒绝组建依赖阿拉伯政党的政府。
Eisenkot and Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman agreed Monday to pursue negotiations with ultra-Orthodox parties, while Lieberman has rejected forming a government dependent on Arab parties.
与此同时，民主党领袖亚伊尔·戈兰周三表示，新政府可能在三周内组建完成，主张与联合阿拉伯名单（拉姆）合作，并争取阿拉伯联合名单的支持。
Meanwhile, Democrats party leader Yair Golan said Wednesday that a new government could be formed within three weeks, advocating cooperation with the United Arab List (Ra'am) and support from the Arab Joint List.
