Hillary Clinton Begins First Foray Into Israel-Palestinian Conflict
美国务卿飞抵以色列展开斡旋访问

Hillary Clinton has arrived in Israel, beginning her first foray into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the new U.S. secretary of state. The top U.S. diplomat landed in Tel Aviv late Monday from Egypt, where she attended a donors' conference that raised more than $5 billion in pledges to rebuild the war-torn Gaza Strip. Pressure is rising for a political breakthrough in the Middle East peace process.

美国国务卿希拉里.克林顿抵达以色列，展开她就任以来对以巴冲突双方的首次斡旋访问。这位美国最高外交官星期一晚上从埃及飞抵特拉维夫，她在埃及出席了一场募款会议，募款所得50亿美元将用来重建饱受战争摧残的加沙地带。要求中东和平进程实现政治突破的压力正在不断升高。

During her stop at the donors' conference in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheik, Secretary Clinton said no one can afford any more setbacks or delays in forging peace in the Middle East.

在埃及度假胜地沙姆沙伊赫出席募款会议时，克林顿国务卿说，中东的和平进程再也经受不起任何倒退或延误了。

She said the United States hopes that by providing aid to help the Gaza Strip rebuild, it can foster conditions for a peaceful and responsible Palestinian state.

她说，美国希望借由提供加沙地带重建经费，为建立一个和平、负责任的巴勒斯坦国创造条件。
