The new homes to be built in Gilo, an urban settlement that Israeli raked on land it captured on the West Bank during the 1967 War, for this area of east Jerusalem is where the Palestinians want to put the capital of their future state. They said the settlements will deny them a viable country.
新的定居点建在吉罗。以色列于1967年战争期间占领了这片西岸土地，之后就开始兴建城市定居点。巴勒斯坦意在东耶路撒冷建立未来的国都，而以色列在此建设住宅是对巴国的否认。
"By announcing these settlements tenders today, Israel have said 1,100 no to a resumption of negotiations, to the two states solution, so Americans, Europeans, Russians, and the UN are confronted with this 1,100 nos from Netanyahu. This government has chosen settlements and not peace."
“以色列今日公布定居点的招标文件，拒绝以重新和谈的方式解决两国的问题。因此美国，欧洲，俄罗斯以及联合国则面临着来自内塔尼亚胡1100个反对票。”以色列政府选择的是定居点，而不是和平。
The so-called Quartet of International Mediators, the United States, the European Union, Russia and the UN, has called for talks to begin within a month, and urged both sides not to take unilateral actions that could block peacemaking. The American reaction was unequivocal.
所谓的国际调解四国-美国，欧盟，俄罗斯和联合国，呼吁在一个月内重启和谈，并敦促双方不得采取任何阻碍和平进程的非单边行动。美国的行动目的很明确。
"We believe that this morning's announcement by the government of Israel approving the construction of the 1100 housing units in east Jerusalem is counterproductive to our efforts to resume direct negotiations between the parties. As you know, we have long urged both sides to avoid any kind of action which could undermine trust, including, and perhaps most particularly in Jerusalem, any action that could be viewed provocative by either side."
以色列政府今晨声明批准在耶路撒冷以东建设1100套住宅单元，我们相信此举会对重启和谈的努力起到反作用。你知道，长期以来我们一直在督促双方避免破坏互信的举动，尤其是在耶路撒冷的问题上，任何行为都有可能被误解为挑衅性行为。
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out any freeze in settlement construction and pointed to the failure of a previous moratorium on building to bring about a deal with Palestinians, the Palestinians are demanding just such a promise before they return to talks.
The US had been hoping for a quick exemption, to divert attention away from the Palestinian bid to win statehood at the UN, and would force Washington to veto the effort. The announcement of the new building further complicates the diplomatic angle, and put the prospect of negotiations even more in doubt.
巴勒斯坦向联合国提出成为正式会员国申请，美国正在积极涡旋，以助其尽快拿到豁免权，这将迫使华盛顿否决这项努力。宣布新建定居点进一步将外交战略复杂化，使和谈前景更加渺茫。
