以色列“雅沙尔”党领袖加迪·艾森科特周日呼吁调查涉嫌总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡办公室干预选举的指控，警告内塔尼亚胡及其同伙对以色列民主构成“直接且迫在眉睫的威胁”。
The leader of Israel’s Yashar party called Sunday for an investigation into alleged election interference involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, warning that Netanyahu and his associates posed a “direct and immediate threat” to Israeli democracy.
艾森科特是针对以色列第12频道当天早些时候播出的一项调查做出回应的。该调查指控内塔尼亚胡的同伙向警方提供误导性情报，以在10月27日的议会选举期间逮捕“联合阿拉伯名单”党（拉姆党）活动人士。
Gadi Eisenkot was responding to an investigation broadcast earlier in the day by Israel’s Channel 12 that accused Netanyahu associates of feeding police misleading intelligence to secure the arrests of United Arab List party (Ra’am) activists during the Oct. 27 Knesset elections.
艾森科特在美资社交媒体平台X上发布声明，要求警方和辛贝特安全局作出解释。他承诺将成立一个调查委员会，调查总理办公室涉嫌介入选举以及安全部门在投票前和投票期间的行为。
In a statement posted on the US social media platform X, Eisenkot demanded explanations from the police and Shin Bet security agency. He pledged to establish a commission of inquiry into the Prime Minister’s Office’s alleged involvement and the security agencies’ conduct before and during the vote.
他指责内塔尼亚胡将国家机构弯曲为服务于其政治生存的工具，并表示内塔尼亚胡“哪怕再多留任一分钟都不行”。“只要他还在任，以色列将不再有公平合法的选举，”艾森科特写道，并称防止在内塔尼亚胡领导下举行另一次选举是指导其联合政府谈判的核心考量。
He accused Netanyahu of bending state institutions to serve his political survival and said he must not remain in power “even one minute longer.”“As long as he is in office, there will no longer be fair and lawful elections in Israel,” Eisenkot wrote, describing the need to prevent another election under Netanyahu as the central consideration guiding his coalition talks.
据第12频道调查报道，内塔尼亚胡办公室主任伊多·诺登在选举前夕联系了警方总长办公室，就南部以色列的三名拉姆党活动人士提出投诉，并将警方引向一名情报来源，该来源曾是总理办公室的雇员。
According to the Channel 12 probe, Netanyahu’s chief of staff, Ido Norden, contacted the police commissioner’s office on the eve of the election with a complaint about three Ra’am activists in southern Israel and referred police to an intelligence source who was a former employee of the prime minister’s office.
该频道报道称，警方依据该信息在没有有效搜查令或逮捕令的情况下突击搜查了活动人士的住所并将其逮捕。
Police relied on the information to arrest the activists after raiding their homes without valid search or arrest warrants, the channel reported.
警方指控这些活动人士携带大量现金和拉姆党代金券，意图影响选民并在投票站争取支持。
Police alleged that the activists were carrying large sums of cash and Ra’am vouchers intended to sway voters and secure their support at the polls.
调查称，内塔尼亚胡迅速将这些指控公之于众，并在选举日反复提及。这引发了人们的怀疑，认为他的办公室协助推动了此案的启动，并称该案随后被用来助长一场声称阿拉伯人正在窃取选举的竞选活动。
The investigation said Netanyahu quickly publicized the allegations and repeated them throughout election day. It raised suspicions that his office had helped set the case in motion and said the case was later used to fuel a campaign claiming that Arabs are stealing the elections.
报告还称，辛贝特（以色列总安全局）局长大卫·齐尼在选举日寻求许可，对五名阿拉伯裔议员进行窃听，理由是涉嫌外国干涉。总检察长加利·巴哈拉夫-米亚拉驳回了该请求。
It also reported that Shin Bet chief David Zini sought permission to wiretap five Arab lawmakers on election day, citing suspected foreign interference. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara rejected the request.
艾森科特正在就组建政府进行谈判，此前总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格于11月8日正式授予他组阁任务。他有28天时间，并可能获得14天的延期。
Eisenkot is negotiating to form a government after President Isaac Herzog formally assigned him the task on Nov. 8. He has 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension.
内塔尼亚胡阵营在议会120个席位中占据53席，而艾森科特阵营拥有48席，阿拉伯政党持有19席。寻求结束内塔尼亚胡统治的各党派尚未就组建执政联盟达成一致。
Netanyahu’s bloc holds 53 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, while Eisenkot’s bloc has 48 and Arab parties hold 19. The parties seeking to end Netanyahu’s rule have yet to agree on a governing coalition.
