布林肯开启第三次中东行

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is making his third trip to the Middle East since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

自哈马斯10月7日袭击以色列以来，美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯正在对中东地区进行第三次访问。

His trip began at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where Blinken said diplomatic work by the U.S. is responsible for the current pause in the fighting in Gaza.

布林肯此行的第一站是位于布鲁塞尔的北约总部。布林肯表示，美国的外交工作促成了加沙目前的停火。

We'll be focused on making - doing what we can to extend the pause so that we can continue to get more hostages out and more humanitarian assistance in.

我们将集中精力尽我们所能延长停火时间，这样我们就可以继续救出更多的人质，并提供更多的人道主义援助。

NPR's Michele Kelemen is traveling with the secretary. She joins us now.

Michele, so what is he hoping to accomplish on this latest trip to the Middle East?

米歇尔，他希望在这最近一次的中东之行中取得什么成果呢？

Yeah, so he's going to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he'll meet with Palestinian officials.

他将前往以色列和被占领的约旦河西岸，他将在约旦河西岸会见巴勒斯坦官员。

And he has a few goals.

他有几个目标。

The U.S. wants to expand the hostage deal that has seen some, but not all, of the hostages freed by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners released in Israel and a pause in the fighting.

美国希望扩大人质协议范围(哈马斯已经释放了一些人质, 但并没有释放所有人质)，以换取以色列释放巴勒斯坦囚犯并暂停战斗。

The U.S. wants to see all those hostages out and for the pause to be extended.

美国希望看到所有人质获释，并希望延长停火时间。

Blinken also wants to ramp up international aid to Gaza and make sure Israel does much more to protect Palestinian civilians in the next phase of its operation against Hamas.

布林肯还希望增加对加沙的国际援助，并确保以色列在打击哈马斯行动的下一阶段中采取更多措施保护巴勒斯坦平民。

You know, thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed so far in Gaza.

到目前为止，已经有成千上万的巴勒斯坦平民在加沙被杀。

And then he also wants to start talking about the day after.

So what is the U.S. saying about what happens to Gaza when the fighting stops?

美国对加沙停火后的情况怎么说？

So Blinken has set out kind of a few broad markers.

布林肯设定了一些宽泛的标准。

The U.S. doesn't want Israel to reoccupy Gaza, and it doesn't want Palestinians permanently displaced.

美国不希望以色列再次占领加沙，也不希望巴勒斯坦人永远流离失所。

The only way to resolve this is to have a Palestinian state with Gaza as part of that.

解决这个问题的唯一途径是建立一个将加沙作为一部分的巴勒斯坦国。

But there are a lot of doubts about how the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank, can reestablish itself in Gaza.

但是，对于总部设在约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦权力机构如何在加沙进行重建，人们有很多疑问。

Those are the kinds of things that he wants everyone in the region to start talking about.

He also wants to make sure that the conflict doesn't engulf the whole region.

他还希望确保整个地区不要陷入这场冲突中。

Blinken is going to see some Arab foreign ministers when he goes to the climate conference in Dubai at the end of the week, and that will be part of that discussion.

布林肯本周末将前往迪拜参加气候会议，届时他将会见一些阿拉伯国家的外交部长，这将是那次会谈的一部分。

Now, Blinken was at NATO headquarters today, or is at NATO headquarters today, to talk about Russia's war in Ukraine.

布林肯今天去过北约总部，或者目前在北约总部，谈论俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争。

So what are NATO allies saying about the state of that war?

It continues to launch drones and missiles at Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of what could be another really tough winter.

So he says Ukraine needs continued support from all of the allies, and that was the big focus of the meetings here today.
