亿万富翁投资人Bill Ackman称Ben-Gvir与Smotrich不应进入以色列下届政府：指两人言行重创以色列声誉
美国纽约——据路透社报道，亿万富翁对冲基金经理 Bill Ackman 10月25日（周日）在社交平台 X 发文称，以色列国家安全部长 Itamar Ben-Gvir 与财政部长 Bezalel Smotrich 不应进入以色列下届政府，指两名极右翼政治人物的言行「给以色列造成了巨大的声誉损害」。
Ackman 写道，从一个了解以色列在美国形象的人的角度看，「Ben-Gvir 和 Smotrich 以他们的言行给以色列造成了巨大的声誉损害」。他表示，一个没有这两人的政府将向外界传递以色列「翻开新一页」的信号，「这将让以色列重建失去的信誉，增加扩大《亚伯拉罕协议》的机会，并与民主党人、共和党人以及全体美国人建立更好的关系」。两人的代表未即时回应置评请求。
这次公开表态距以色列大选仅两天。民调显示，总理 Benjamin Netanyahu 的执政联盟与反对派阵营选情胶着。Ben-Gvir 领导的犹太力量党预计赢得约10个议席（上届6席），Smotrich 领导的宗教犹太复国主义党预计约8席（上届7席）。两人在 Netanyahu 的宗教民族主义联盟中任职，其针对以色列阿拉伯少数族裔与约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦人的政策被广泛认为带有歧视性；英国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国已以煽动针对西岸巴勒斯坦人的暴力为由对两人实施制裁。
Ackman 是 Pershing Square Capital Management 创始人，上周到访以色列，周四在 Tel Aviv 一场会议上称赞 Netanyahu 自2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以来保卫以色列「做得很好」；他与妻子 Neri Oxman 持有特拉维夫证券交易所5%的股份。Ackman 在2024年美国大选中支持特朗普，特朗普上周公开表态支持 Netanyahu 连任总理。以色列智库 Mitvim 主席 Nimrod Goren 对路透社表示，Ackman 的表态似乎反映特朗普圈子希望 Netanyahu 在选后放弃极右翼盟友、与反对党组建「团结政府」的意愿；但主要挑战者 Gadi Eisenkot 等反对党领袖已排除与 Netanyahu 组阁的可能。
Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman Says Ben-Gvir and Smotrich Should Not Serve in Israel's Next Government, Citing Enormous Reputational Damage
NEW YORK — Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said on Sunday that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich should not serve in Israel's next government, writing on X that the two far-right politicians had caused enormous damage to the country's reputation, according to Reuters.
"Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have caused Israel enormous reputational damage with their statements and actions," Ackman wrote, from the perspective of someone who understands how Israel is perceived in the United States. A government without the two ministers, he said, would send a message that Israel was "turning a new page": "This will allow Israel to rebuild lost credibility, increase the opportunity for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and enjoy a better relationship with Democrats and Republicans and Americans at large." Representatives for Ben-Gvir and Smotrich did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The intervention came two days before Israel's general election, in which polls show a tight race between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition and the opposition. Ben-Gvir's Jewish Power party is projected to win around 10 parliamentary seats, up from six, while Smotrich's Religious Zionism is projected to win eight, up from seven. As ministers in Netanyahu's religious-nationalist coalition, the two have overseen policies widely perceived as discriminatory against Israel's Arab minority and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, and several countries, including Britain, Canada and Australia, have imposed sanctions on them over accusations of inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, visited Israel last week and praised Netanyahu at a Tel Aviv conference on Thursday, saying he had done a good job protecting and defending Israel since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack; Ackman and his wife Neri Oxman own 5% of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Ackman supported Donald Trump's candidacy in 2024, and Trump last week publicly endorsed Netanyahu for prime minister. Nimrod Goren, president of the Israeli think tank Mitvim, told Reuters Ackman's statement appeared to reflect a desire among Trump's circles for Netanyahu to drop his far-right allies after the vote and form a unity government with opposition parties, although leading challenger Gadi Eisenkot and other opposition leaders have ruled out forming a government with Netanyahu.
