Ruth Wasserman Lande: 我认为当前中东局势的解读框架并非以色列与阿拉伯世界的冲突,也不是以色列与伊朗的冲突,而是极端伊斯兰(逊尼派和什叶派)与世界其他地区的冲突。极端伊斯兰的目标是建立一个全球性的哈里发国,首先要摧毁以色列,然后解放耶路撒冷,以此激励全球穆斯林。10月7日战争并非单纯的以色列与巴勒斯坦冲突,而是这一全球性冲突的一部分。逊尼派和什叶派极端分子虽然在某些方面合作,但这种合作是暂时的,因为他们最终的目标是争夺全球哈里发国的领导权。埃及对以色列的军事建设并非仅仅是对加沙局势的回应,而是多年来长期计划的结果。埃及高层决策者将以色列视为潜在威胁,这源于对以色列右翼政客言论的误读,以及对加沙人可能涌入西奈半岛的恐慌。要缓解埃及的担忧,美国应更好地利用其经济援助,帮助埃及平民,而不是仅仅支持其军事建设。以色列也应该要求埃及改变其教育体系和媒体宣传,消除对以色列的仇恨言论。将加沙人迁往埃及或约旦是错误的政策,因为这只会将问题转移,而不会解决问题。卡塔尔作为哈马斯的支持者,应该承担起接收加沙难民的责任。约旦的稳定性受到伊朗政权的威胁,伊朗试图通过哈马斯和伊斯兰圣战组织破坏约旦的稳定。要稳定约旦,美国应继续向约旦提供军事支持,同时避免向约旦转移更多巴勒斯坦人。两国方案对约旦来说是破坏性的,因为它会创造一个极端伊斯兰政权,进一步加剧该地区的动荡。叙利亚的新政府是极端伊斯兰主义者,他们与土耳其合作,试图重建叙利亚,但长期来看,他们仍然对以色列构成威胁。黎巴嫩真主党虽然被削弱,但仍然是一个危险的敌人,不会轻易放弃黎巴嫩。黎巴嫩军队需要西方的支持才能成功接管真主党的阵地,恢复主权。未来十年,以色列的边境局势将充满不确定性,难以预测哪个边境最危险。 Eylon Levy: 本期节目讨论了以色列边境面临的威胁,以及自10月7日哈马斯袭击以来中东地区发生的重大变化。我们探讨了如何解读中东冲突,以及逊尼派和什叶派极端分子在建立全球哈里发国方面的竞争。我们分析了埃及的军事建设、约旦的稳定性、叙利亚局势的变化以及黎巴嫩真主党的威胁。我们还讨论了两国方案对该地区稳定性的影响,以及以色列如何应对这些挑战。
