前美国总统乔·拜登在其新回忆录中表达了对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的不满，指责他无视美国减少加沙地带平民伤亡的要求、作出空头承诺，并将个人政治利益置于以色列福祉之上。有线电视新闻网（CNN）于周五刊登了相关节选。
Former US president Joe Biden expressed frustration with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his new memoir, accusing him of ignoring US demands to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza, making empty promises, and prioritizing his political interests over Israel's well-being in excerpts published by CNN on Friday.
这些节选摘自《向我承诺，美国》（Promise Me, America），描述了2023年10月7日袭击发生后，拜登与内塔尼亚胡关系的恶化。
“自冲突伊始，我一直呼吁以色列采取预防措施，减少平民痛苦，”拜登写道。
The excerpts from Promise Me, America describe deteriorating relations between Biden and Netanyahu following the October 7 attacks.“I had been calling on Israel to take precautions to reduce civilian suffering since the beginning of the conflict,” Biden writes.
拜登声称，内塔尼亚胡甚至承认巴勒斯坦伤亡人数上升正在损害以色列的形象以及美国对这场战争的支持，但却反复未能改变以色列的行动。
Biden claimed Netanyahu even acknowledged that rising Palestinian casualties were damaging Israel's image and American support for the war, yet repeatedly failed to change Israel's conduct."
“当我们就此提出质询时，以色列人总能找出解释或借口，但结果总是一样的，”拜登写道。
When we called them on it, the Israelis always had an explanation or excuse, but the result was the same," Biden writes.
拜登还质疑内塔尼亚胡的可信度，指责他将政治生存置于以色列长远利益之上。
Biden also questioned Netanyahu's trustworthiness, accusing him of prioritizing political survival over Israel's long-term interests."
“比比（内塔尼亚胡的昵称）毫不在意作出他无力——或无意——兑现的承诺，”拜登写道。
Bibi had no qualms about making promises he had no power – or intention – to keep," Biden writes."I was frustrated by his failure to think like a statesman and safeguard Israel's long-term interests, not just his own short-term political needs,” he added.
“我对他的失望在于，他未能以政治家的眼光思考，维护以色列的长远利益，而非仅顾及他个人短期的政治需要，”他补充道。前拜登政府官员回顾与内塔尼亚胡的摩擦拜登的叙述继多位前政府官员的回忆录之后，这些回忆录详述了战争期间与内塔尼亚胡的紧张关系。
Former Biden officials recount tensions with NetanyahuBiden's account follows several memoirs by former administration officials detailing tensions with Netanyahu during the war.
布雷特·麦格克曾任拜登总统副助理兼国家安全委员会中东和北非事务协调员，主导人质谈判，他在上月出版的新书《边缘》（Brink）中详述了拜登与内塔尼亚胡之间的摩擦。
Brett McGurk, who served as Deputy Assistant to President Biden and National Security Council Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa and led hostage negotiations, detailed the tensions between Biden and Netanyahu in his book Brink, published last month.
2024年4月，以色列空袭导致“世界中央厨房”七名援助人员在加沙地带丧生，麦格克回忆，拜登与内塔尼亚胡发生对峙，他将其描述为“沸点”。
Following the April 2024 Israeli strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, McGurk recalled Biden confronting Netanyahu in what he descibed as a "boiling point."
拜登与内塔尼亚胡在多项决定上发生冲突，包括击毙哈马斯政治领袖2024年7月，伊斯梅尔·哈尼亚在德黑兰，内塔尼亚胡称这可能强化以色列的立场，而拜登认为这可能使人质谈判面临风险。
Biden and Netanyahu clashed over multiple decisions, including the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July 2024, which Netanyahu said could strengthen Israel's position and Biden thought could put hostage negotiations at risk.
然而，麦格克将谈判僵局的主要责任归咎于哈马斯，认为美国对以色列的公开施压增强了该恐怖组织的立场。副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的国家安全顾问菲尔·戈登去年10月对《耶路撒冷邮报》表示，麦格克的说法并非全部真相，内塔尼亚胡在2024年7月提出了额外要求，导致协议推迟了约六个月。这些要求包括让以色列国防军部队继续驻扎在费拉德尔菲走廊，并监控返回加沙北部的巴勒斯坦人。
However, McGurk placed most responsibility for the negotiating deadlock on Hamas, arguing that public US pressure on Israel strengthened the terrorist organization's position. Phil Gordon, Vice President Kamala Harris's national security adviser, told The Jerusalem Post in October that McGurk's account was not the full story and that Netanyahu introduced additional demands in July 2024 that delayed an agreement by approximately six months. These included maintaining IDF forces along the Philadelphi Corridor and monitoring Palestinians returning to northern Gaza.
戈登认为，这些条件使得协议在随后的六个月里变得不可能，他写道，在此期间又有近9000名巴勒斯坦人丧生，更多以色列人质死亡，其中包括2024年8月被哈马斯处决的六名人质。随后，他强调，没有人能确切知道，如果内塔尼亚胡在2024年夏季表现出更大的灵活性，是否会达成协议。然而，他认为，内塔尼亚胡坚持这些条件带来了明显的后果。
Gordon argued that these conditions made an agreement impossible for another six months during which, he wrote, nearly 9,000 additional Palestinians were killed, while more Israeli hostages died, including the six hostages executed by Hamas in August 2024. Later, he stressed that no one could know with certainty whether greater flexibility by Netanyahu would have produced an agreement in the summer of 2024. Nevertheless, he argued that Netanyahu's insistence on those conditions had a clear consequence.
哈里斯批评内塔尼亚胡和拜登哈里斯还在去年出版的回忆录《107天》中批评内塔尼亚胡，称他希望唐纳德·特朗普重返白宫，因为他认为特朗普会支持对加沙采取更激进的计划。哈里斯写道：“他希望坐在他对面的是特朗普。”
Harris criticizes Netanyahu, BidenHarris also criticized Netanyahu in her memoir, 107 Days, published last year, claiming he preferred Donald Trump's return to the White House because he believed Trump would support more aggressive plans for Gaza." He wanted Trump to be the one sitting across from him," Harris wrote.
哈里斯还指责内塔尼亚胡在2024年7月的一次会晤中拖延谈判。
Harris also accused Netanyahu of stalling negotiations during a July 2024 meeting.
她还批评拜登，称他难以对巴勒斯坦人的苦难表现出同样的同理心，而他对以色列和乌克兰平民展现过这种同理心。拜登回应对其心智能力的批评拜登还反驳了有关其心智能力下降的指控，尤其是特别检察官罗伯特·胡尔在2024年2月提出的指控。
She criticized Biden as well, arguing that he struggled to demonstrate the same empathy for Palestinian suffering that he expressed toward Israeli and Ukrainian civilians. Biden addresses criticism of his mental fitnessBiden also challenges allegations of declining mental fitness, particularly those raised by special counsel Robert Hur in February 2024.
他指出，调查人员于2023年10月8日和9日对他进行了问询，就在哈马斯发动袭击之后不久。
He notes that investigators interviewed him on October 8 and 9, 2023, immediately after the Hamas attacks."I had been up all night dealing with the aftershocks of a profound change to the global order. Go ask the Israeli leadership if they thought they were dealing with a diminished president that day," Biden writes.
拜登写道：“我彻夜未眠，应对全球秩序深刻变化的余波。去问问以色列领导人，他们是否认为那天面对的是一个心智衰退的总统。”这本480页的回忆录定于11月17日出版。
The 480-page memoir is scheduled for publication on November 17.
拜登现年83岁，正在与晚期前列腺癌作斗争，癌细胞已扩散至骨骼，并计划减少宣传活动。
Biden, 83, is battling advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and plans to reduce promotional appearances.
拜登本周接受《人物》杂志采访时表示，如果早知道自己的病情，他不会寻求连任。他说：“我不认为一个身患癌症的80岁老人应该参选。”
In an interview with People this week, Biden said he would not have sought reelection had he known about his illness."I don't think an 80-year-old man with cancer should run for election," he said.
