##美方称加沙停火协议“在望” 以色列持续袭击加沙局势紧张
中新网8月23日电综合报道,当地时间8月22日,美国驻联合国代表托马斯-格林菲尔德对联合国安理会表示,加沙停火和被扣押人员释放的协议“近在眼前”。然而,就在美方释放“乐观”信号的同时,以色列当天在加沙地带发动了数次军事袭击,造成包括一名儿童在内的4人死亡,数人受伤,加沙局势依然紧张。
据路透社报道,格林菲尔德敦促安理会成员国向巴勒斯坦伊斯兰抵抗运动(哈马斯)施压,要求其接受以色列同意的过渡性提议。她表示,“以色列已经接受了过渡性建议。现在哈马斯也必须这样做”,“这是停火谈判和该地区的一个决定性时刻,因此,安理会的每一个成员都应该继续向该地区的其他参与者发出强烈的信息,避免采取可能使我们远离最终达成协议的行动。”
然而,多位消息人士透露,围绕以色列未来在加沙的军事存在和释放巴勒斯坦被扣押人员的分歧,阻碍了协议的达成。哈马斯近日在一份声明中指出,近期谈判提出的建议与以色列总理内塔尼亚胡最近提出的新条件的立场过于接近,敦促斡旋方坚持执行7月份的框架协议,而不是开始新的谈判。内塔尼亚胡办公室则否认提出新的要求,称其立场建立在先前提议的基础上。
预计下一轮谈判将于未来几天在埃及首都开罗举行,谈判将围绕美国的过渡性建议展开。以色列和哈马斯已举行过多轮间接谈判,但在关键细节上存在多重争议,导致协议无法达成。
另一方面,以色列持续对加沙地带发动军事袭击。据卡塔尔半岛电视台最新报道,以色列在加沙地带发动多次袭击,造成人员伤亡。巴勒斯坦官方通讯社(WAFA)报道称,当地时间8月22日晚,以色列对加沙地带的一个避难所和两个平民聚集区实施空袭,导致包括一名儿童在内的4人死亡,数人受伤。
据巴勒斯坦加沙地带卫生部门最新数据显示,2023年10月新一轮巴以冲突爆发以来,以色列在加沙地带的军事行动已造成40265名巴勒斯坦人死亡、93144人受伤。联合国相关机构官员报告称,自2023年10月以来,加沙近90%的人口流离失所。
联合国安理会22日举行巴以问题公开会。联合国中东和平进程特别协调员温尼斯兰德在会上称,中东局势“不稳定”,他强调,停火协议对地区和平与稳定至关重要,并敦促国际社会迅速采取行动。
目前,加沙局势依然紧张,停火协议能否达成仍充满不确定性。国际社会普遍呼吁各方保持克制,尽快结束冲突,避免局势进一步恶化。

##Ceasefire Agreement in Sight, Israel Continues Attacks in Gaza
**Keywords:** ceasefire, attack, agreement
**Content:**
The United States has signaledthat a ceasefire agreement in Gaza is “imminent,” with US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield telling the UN Security Council on August 22 that a deal for a ceasefire and the release of detainees is “within reach.” However, despite this optimistic outlook, Israel launched multiple military strikes in the GazaStrip on the same day, killing four people, including a child, and injuring several others, leaving the situation in Gaza tense.
According to Reuters, Thomas-Greenfield urged Security Council members to pressure Hamas to accept a transitional proposal agreedupon by Israel. “Israel has accepted a transitional proposal. Now Hamas must do so,” she said. “This is a defining moment for ceasefire negotiations and for the region, so every member of the Security Council should continue to send a strongmessage to other actors in the region to avoid actions that could move us away from a final agreement.”
However, multiple sources have revealed that disagreements over Israel’s future military presence in Gaza and the release of Palestinian detainees have hindered the agreement. Hamas recently issued a statement stating that the proposed deal is too close to therecent conditions set by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging mediators to adhere to the framework agreement reached in July instead of initiating new negotiations. Netanyahu’s office denied setting new demands, claiming its position is based on previous proposals.
The next round of negotiations is expected to take place in Cairo, Egypt, in the comingdays, focusing on the US transitional proposal. Israel and Hamas have held multiple rounds of indirect negotiations, but disputes over key details have prevented a deal.
Meanwhile, Israel continues its military strikes in the Gaza Strip. According to Al Jazeera, Israel launched multiple attacks in Gaza, resulting in casualties. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that on the evening of August 22, Israel carried out airstrikes on a shelter and two civilian gatherings in the Gaza Strip, killing four people, including a child, and injuring several others.
According to the latest data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Israeli military operations in Gazahave resulted in the deaths of 40,265 Palestinians and injuries to 93,144 since the latest round of conflict began in October 2023. UN officials have reported that nearly 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced since October 2023.
The UN Security Council held an open meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on August 22. UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland described the situation in the Middle East as “unstable,” emphasizing the importance of a ceasefire for regional peace and stability, and urging the international community toact swiftly.
The situation in Gaza remains tense, and the possibility of a ceasefire agreement remains uncertain. The international community is urging all parties to exercise restraint, end the conflict as soon as possible, and prevent further escalation.
