CNN News: 特朗普放弃巴以问题“两国方案”

It was the first time that U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met face to face since the American leader was inaugurated. In a news conference Wednesday, President Trump said the U.S. would encourage a great peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, but that it would be the two sides themselves that would have to directly negotiate that agreement.

这是自美国换届以来，美国总统特朗普同以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡首次面对面。在周三举行的新闻发布会上，特朗普表示美国鼓励巴以之间的和平协议，但是前提是巴以双方必须直接对此协议进行协商。

What President Trump didn`t say was whether he supported the idea of a two- state solution. In the Middle East conflict, this is the idea that Palestinians would have their own country alongside Israel.

特朗普总统没有表示自己是否支持两国方案。在中东冲突方面，巴基斯坦和以色列都会有自己的考量。

I`m looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like.

只要以色列和巴勒斯坦双方愿意，我对以“一国方案”还是“两国方案”实现巴以和平都能够接受。

AZUZ: But experts say it`s very unlikely that Palestinians would accept any agreement that doesn`t give them their own state. As far as Israel and the U.S. go, this is expected to be the beginning of a friendlier relationship between the two countries. They`ve historically been close allies.

但是，专家表示巴基斯坦不会接收一国方案。至于以色列和美国，这将是两国关系更加友好化的开始。美国和以色列历史上一直是密切的盟友。

But former President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu often didn`t get along. One issue that divided them: Israeli settlements. President Obama strongly opposed them.

但是前美国总统奥巴马和以色列总理内塔尼亚胡关系并不好。其中两人的一个分歧是：以色列定居点问题上。奥巴马总统对此强烈反对。

On the campaign trail, Mr. Trump supported them. But on Wednesday, as president, he said he`d like to see Israel hold back on settlements.

在竞选总统期间，特朗普表示对此持支持态度。但是在周三会晤中，特朗普总统表示，希望以色列停止定居点建设。

Why are these controversial?

为什么会出现分歧呢?
