布林肯接受CNBC訪問 DoS 20240116 / Taimocracy翻譯
Five days after U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's interview with CNBC on January 16, Hamas responded by releasing a report on the October 7 attack, also known as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which resulted in the deaths of 1139 civilians. Israel retaliated with a severe response on Gaza later.
While the party initiating the attack bears the most responsibility, it is a critical and balanced political move by Hamas: to acknowledge externally that “maybe some faults happened,” referring to civilian casualties, and to justify internally the operation as “a necessary step and a normal response” against Israel, simultaneously addressing concerns both within and outside, aiming for possible reconciliation.
在美國國務卿安東尼·布林肯於1月16日接受CNBC採訪五天後,哈馬斯回應發佈了有關10月7日襲擊的報告,也被稱為“阿克薩洪水行動”,造成1139名平民死亡。以色列隨後對加沙進行了嚴厲的回應。
儘管發動襲擊的一方負擔著最大的責任,但哈馬斯的政治舉動是一個關鍵且平衡的決策:在外部承認“可能發生了一些錯誤”,指的是平民傷亡,同時在內部正當化這次行動,稱其為“一個必要的步驟和對以色列的正常回應”,同時內外兼顧,旨在達成可能的和解。
哈馬斯首次承認突襲以色列“有過失” 法廣 20240121
巴勒斯坦極端組織哈馬斯首次承認,10月7日突襲以色列造成大量平民死亡“有過失”。哈馬斯突襲後,以色列隨即發動加沙戰爭反擊,死亡人數已超過25000。
在一份長達20頁的文件中,哈馬斯提出了自己的“版本”,聲稱10月7日的“阿克薩洪水”行動是“必要行動”",是對以色列佔領的“正常反應”。
但哈馬斯承認,在以色列和加沙邊界“安全和軍事機構突然崩潰”造成的“混亂”中“可能發生了一些錯誤”。
但哈馬斯否認以平民為目標,“若有針對平民情事,那是在對抗佔領軍過程中意外發生的…在混亂狀況下,許多以色列人遭到以色列軍警殺害。”
法新社根據以色列官方數據進行的統計顯示,那次針對以色列軍事哨所、城鎮和音樂節參與者的襲擊造成1140多人死亡,其中大部分是平民。隨後傳播的大量視頻顯示,一些武裝人員肆意殺戮。
還有約250人被綁架並帶至加沙,其中約100人在11月底與巴勒斯坦囚犯交換後獲釋。據以色列稱,仍有132名人質被扣押在該領土上,其中28人據報已經死亡。
哈馬斯衛生部周日公布的死亡人數顯示,以色列對加沙走廊這塊狹小的領土發動的空中和地面攻勢,已造成25105人死亡,其中絕大多數是婦女、兒童和青少年。
被美國和歐盟列為恐怖分子的哈馬斯在文件中要求“立即以色列停止侵略“,而以”“消滅”哈馬斯為目標的以色列則拒絕在不釋放人質的情況下停止戰鬥。
以色列總理內塔尼亞胡周日稱,他“斷然”拒絕了哈馬斯提出的“條件”,他說哈馬斯的條件是“結束戰爭,從加沙撤出我們的部隊”,並“釋放所有殺人犯和強姦犯”。
哈馬斯則宣稱,“巴勒斯坦人民自行決定其領土的未來”,並拒絕接受“國際或以色列的任何相關計畫”。
周六,內塔尼亞胡重申,拒絕接受美國總統拜登提出的巴勒斯坦未來對加沙走廊地帶的任何“主權”的想法。
Hamas says October 7 attack was a ‘necessary step’, admits to ‘some faults’ Aljazeera 20240121
The Palestinian group provides its account of what happened before and during the assault on communities in southern Israel.
Published On 21 Jan 202421 Jan 2024
The Palestinian group Hamas has said there were “faults” in the October 7 attack it led on southern Israel, but claimed its fighters only targeted Israeli soldiers and people carrying weapons.
In a 16-page report titled “Our Narrative” and published on Sunday, Hamas, which governs Gaza, said it wanted to “clarify” the background and dynamics of the surprise attack it calls Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
In its first public report since the attack, Hamas said it was “a necessary step and a normal response to confront all Israeli conspiracies against the Palestinian people”.
Early on October 7, Hamas fighters stormed communities along Israel’s southern fence with Gaza. At least 1,139 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the attack, according to an Al Jazeera tally based on official Israeli statistics, and about 240 others were seized as captives.
Around 100 of the captives were released during a seven-day truce in late November in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
Israeli authorities have accused Hamas fighters of committing war crimes during the attack, including torture, rape and mutilation. Hamas has strongly rejected allegations of sexual violence and or mutilation.
‘Maybe some faults happened’
The report said Hamas planned to target Israeli military sites and to capture soldiers, which could be used to pressure the Israeli authorities to release thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
The group said that avoiding harming civilians “is a religious and moral commitment” by fighters of Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades.
“If there was any case of targeting civilians; it happened accidentally and in the course of the confrontation with the occupation forces,” read the report.
It added that “maybe some faults happened” during the attack “due to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system, and the chaos caused along the areas near Gaza.
Hamas Releases Report Justifying October 7 Attack On Israel LEADERSHIP 20240121
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, defended its October 7 attack on Israel as a “necessary step” against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
The group acknowledged some “faults” during the assault, attributing them to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system.
In a 16-page report, the first of its kind released in English and Arabic, Hamas detailed the circumstances surrounding the attack when Hamas militants breached Gaza’s militarized border.
The assault resulted in approximately 1,140 deaths, predominantly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
Hamas characterized the attacks as “a necessary step and a normal response to confront all Israeli conspiracies against the Palestinian people.”
During the incident, around 250 hostages were seized, and while Israel reports about 132 remaining in Gaza, at least 27 captives are believed to have been killed, according to AFP.
Israel’s subsequent bombardment and ground offensive in Gaza have led to a reported death toll of at least 25,105 people, primarily women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Hamas called for the immediate cessation of Israeli aggression on Gaza and rejected international and Israeli efforts to determine Gaza’s post-war future.
The group stressed the Palestinian people’s right to decide their own fate and internal affairs, asserting that no external party had the authority to make decisions on their behalf.
“We stress that the Palestinian people have the capacity to decide their future and to arrange their internal affairs,” the statement said, adding that “no party in the world” had the right to decide on their behalf.
