华盛顿，10月17日 - 美国希望以色列采取更多措施，以威慑约旦河西岸定居者实施的袭击行为，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周六表示。
WASHINGTON, Oct 17 - The United States wants Israel to do more to deter attacks committed by settlers in the West Bank, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday.
“我们对这些画面以及我们所看到的情况感到非常不安，”卢比奥说。“我们已经要求以色列方面采取行动，并继续敦促他们严厉打击这类行为。”他对记者的讲话是在多段视频广泛传播之后发表的，视频显示多名人士袭击了美国《华盛顿邮报》摄影记者海迪·莱文。莱文是周五事件中至少两人受伤者之一，该事件发生在以色列定居者袭击巴勒斯坦平民之际。
"We're very disturbed by those images and what we're seeing," Rubio said. "We've asked the Israelis and continue to ask them to crack down on that stuff." His comments to reporters came after the widespread dissemination of video showing multiple individuals attacking Heidi Levine, an American photojournalist with the Washington Post. Levine was one of at least two people injured in the Friday incident, which took place as Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian civilians.
比利时外交部长表示，欧洲外交官和一名法国市长也在被占领的约旦河西岸遭到袭击。
European diplomats and a French mayor also were attacked in the occupied West Bank, Belgium's foreign minister said.
卢比奥表示，美国国务院已就包括莱文遭袭在内的事件进行了询问。他在登机前往乌兹别克斯坦之前对记者表示，他预计将在周日之前收到美国驻耶路撒冷大使馆的回复。
The US State Department, Rubio said, has inquired about the event that included Levine's attack. Rubio, who spoke to reporters before boarding a flight to Uzbekistan, said he expects to hear back from the US Embassy in Jerusalem by Sunday.
根据以色列定居点监测组织Yesh Din的数据，自9月27日左右（即一年一度的橄榄收获季开始之时）以来，约旦河西岸的以色列定居者已参与对巴勒斯坦人的至少170起袭击事件。
Israeli settlers in the West Bank have been involved in at least 170 attacks on Palestinians since September 27, around the start of the annual olive harvest, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli settlements monitoring group.
