在西亚地区持续紧张之际，外界目前对被占领西岸以色列定居者暴力事件的增加表示担忧。根据最新进展，据报道，一名来自美国的摄影记者和数名欧洲外交官在该地区遭到以色列定居者袭击。美国摄影记者遭袭击在有关定居者暴力事件增加的报道传出后，特朗普政府表示，对《华盛顿邮报》摄影记者海蒂·莱文（Heidi Levine）在西岸地区遭到以色列定居者袭击的画面感到“不安”。
美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）表示：“我们对这些画面以及我们所看到的情况感到非常不安，”并补充说，特朗普政府已要求以色列政府“严厉打击这类行为”。
《华盛顿邮报》执行总编辑马特·默里（Matt Murray）在谈到这起事件时表示，袭击发生于当地时间周五上午。
Amid the ongoing tensions in the West Asian region, concerns have now been raised regarding the rise in Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank. As per the latest developments, a photojournalist from the United States and several European diplomats were reportedly attacked by Israeli settlers in the region.US photojournalist attackedFollowing the reports of the increase in settler violence, the Trump administration stated it was "disturbed" by footage of Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine being attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank region.“We’re very disturbed by those images and what we’re seeing,’ said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, adding that the Trump administration has asked the Israeli government to “crack down on that stuff.”Addressing the incident, Washington Post Executive Editor Matt Murray said the attack took place on Friday morning (local time).In a statement on X, Murray added that Levine was attacked despite being clearly marked as "press"."She was clearly beaten.
默里在X平台上的一份声明中补充说，莱文遇袭时身上带有清晰的“记者”标识。
These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable.
“她显然被殴打了。这些不是党派偏见或可笑的言论，而是无可争辩的事实。我们敦促进行彻底调查并追究责任，”《华盛顿邮报》编辑在回应以色列总理办公室的声明时如是说。该声明曾称，不会允许“妖魔化朱迪亚和撒玛利亚奉公守法的犹太居民”。美国驻以色列大使迈克·赫卡比（Mike Huckabee）谴责这起袭击，并呼吁对涉案定居者进行全面调查、逮捕和起诉。
We urge a thorough investigation and accountability," the WaPo editor said in response to a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's office, stating that it would not allow for the "demonisation of a law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.”Condemning the attack, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called for a full investigation, arrest and prosecution of the accused settlers.
赫卡比说：“袭击一名女摄影师是由蒙面懦夫实施的卑鄙恐怖主义行径，”并补充说这是一场“毫无意义暴力的可耻行径”。本月早些时候，法新社摄影师贾法尔·阿什蒂耶（Jaafar Ashtiyeh）在报道围绕橄榄收获的紧张局势时也遭到袭击。这名摄影师的相机被定居者抢走，并导致多根肋骨骨折。欧洲外交官、法国市长也遭袭击在另一起事件中，来自法国、比利时和波兰的外交官在泰巴村（Taybeh）遭到以色列定居者袭击。法新社的一篇报道补充称，一名来访的法国市长也成为了袭击目标。
“Attacking a female photographer is a despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards,” Huckabee said, adding that it was a "dishonourable act of senseless violence.”Earlier this month, AFP photographer Jaafar Ashtiyeh was also attacked while covering tensions over the olive harvest. The photographer’s camera was stolen by settlers, and the photographer was left with several fractured ribsEuropean diplomats, French mayor also attackedIn a separate incident, diplomats from France, Belgium and Poland were attacked by Israeli settlers in the village of Taybeh. An AFP report added that a visiting French mayor was also subject to the attack.
这名78岁的市长在接受法新社采访时表示，当时他与耶路撒冷的法国和比利时高级代表以及波兰外交官一起，在西岸加入巴勒斯坦橄榄农的行列，蒙面定居者对他大喊诋毁法国的言论，并用铁棒踢打他。
Speaking to AFP, the 78-year-old mayor said masked settlers yelled defamatory comments about France and kicked and hit him with iron bars as he joined Palestinian olive farmers in the West Bank alongside top French and Belgian representatives in Jerusalem and Polish diplomats.
他对这家法国新闻机构说：“我认为，如果定居者表现得这样，那是得到了以色列政府的纵容。全世界都需要知道发生了什么。对我来说，我会回国，一切都会好起来。那些继续承受最大痛苦的人是留在这里的人。”
"I think that if settlers are behaving like this, there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government. The whole world needs to know what's happening. For me, I'll go back to my country, and everything will be fine.

Those who continue to suffer the most are those who are here," he told the French news agency.UK renames consulate to Jerusalem as ‘mission’ amid sanctions row with Israel | What we know“The Israeli authorities must arrest those responsible for these revolting acts and bring them to justice. They must urgently halt this criminal violence and guarantee the safety of civilian populations, as they are compelled to do under international law,” said French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot in a statement condemning the attack. Sharp increase in settler violence ahead of Israel pollsViolence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians has surged during the annual olive harvest, with activists claiming that authorities have done little to stop.
暴力事件的激增也正值以色列大选前夕，同时正逢英国因以色列扩大在西岸地区定居点而实施制裁引发持续争端。
This surge in violence also comes ahead of the general elections in Israel and an ongoing row with the UK over its sanctions regarding the expansion of Israeli settler in the West Bank region.
以色列外交部注意到最近的袭击事件并予以谴责，以色列警方则承诺展开调查。
Taking note of the recent attacks, the Israeli foreign ministry condemned the attack, and Israeli police promised to open an investigation.
然而，以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡指控称这是一场针对定居者的“抹黑”campaign（运动）。
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has alleged a "smear" campaign against settlers.
内塔尼亚胡表示，外交官们本应与以色列军方协调他们的行程，并指出博杜（Baudoux）市长是一名以支持巴勒斯坦事业而闻名的共产主义者。
内塔尼亚胡办公室的声明称：“这些报道出台之际，正值人们担心在一年一度的橄榄收获季节期间，有人蓄意策划抹黑以色列以及朱迪亚和撒玛利亚犹太居民的运动，他们依赖耸人听闻的头条新闻，抢在事实真相全部浮出水面之前散布。我们可能会在未来几天看到更多指控。等到证据被彻底审查时，草率结论所造成的声誉损害可能已经造成。”
Netanyahu said the diplomats should have coordinated their movements with the Israeli military and pointed out that Mayor Baudoux is a communist known for supporting the Palestinian cause.“These reports come amid concerns about a coordinated campaign to smear Israel and the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria during the annual olive harvest, relying on sensational headlines before the full facts emerge. We may see further allegations in the coming days. By the time the evidence is fully examined, the reputational damage from premature conclusions may already be done,” said the statement from Netanyahu’s office.
