美国务卿飞抵以色列访问

Secretary Clinton's schedule on Tuesday includes meetings with Israeli leaders. She is due to travel to the West Bank on Wednesday for meetings with top Palestinian officials. Her aim is to see how best to revive the stalled peace process.

克林顿国务卿星期二的行程包括与以色列领导人的会晤。星期三，她将前往约旦河西岸地区与巴勒斯坦官员会面。她的目标是寻求恢复陷入僵局的和平进程的最佳方式。

Both sides are eager to know the details of how the new Obama administration will pursue peace in the region. Both have a long list of expectations.

以巴双方都希望了解奥巴马政府对中东和平的细节规划。双边都有相当多的期待。

Politics professor Ali Jarbawi at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank says many Palestinians believe that years of negotiations have yielded them nothing. He says they hope the Obama administration will use the U.S. influence on Israel to give the peace process a push.

约旦河西岸比尔泽特大学政治系教授阿里.迦巴威说，许多巴勒斯坦人认为多年的谈判毫无结果，他们希望奥巴马政府能够向以色列施压，推动和平进程。

"We want this administration to exert its pressure to finally find out whether Israel is serious about reaching a settlement with the Palestinians or wants only to impose a settlement on the Palestinians," he said.

他说：“我们希望奥巴马政府对以色列施压，看看以色列究竟是真心想与巴勒斯坦达成协议，还是只想把定居点强加给巴勒斯坦人。”

Israel expects the same level of support that it has historically received from Washington, and Israeli leaders seek cooperation from the Obama administration to keep up the pressure on terrorists, as well as on Iran and its nuclear ambitions.

以色列期待从华盛顿获得和过去同样水平的支持。以色列领导人希望与奥巴马政府一起，继续对恐怖分子、对伊朗及其核野心保持压力。

It is uncertain how much progress Secretary Clinton could make on this trip. Israel is the midst of a political storm, following inconclusive general elections last month in which hawkish parties made a strong showing.

目前还不清楚克林顿国务卿此行能达成多少进展。以色列国内目前陷入一场政治风暴，上个月的大选导致鹰派政党取得领先。

A new Israeli government will likely be led by rightist Benjamin Netanyahu, who says he wants peace with the Palestinians but is unwilling to negotiate on key issues and has refused to declare his support for the two-state solution favored by the United States.

右翼的内坦尼亚胡极有可能组建一个新政府。他表示愿意与巴勒斯坦取得和平，但不愿意就一些关键议题进行谈判，而且拒绝支持美国赞同的以巴两国共存建议。
