以色列接受中东四方恢复和谈建议

As the Palestinians seek statehood recognition at the United Nations, Israel has given its official response to an international effort to revive the Middle East peace process.

就在巴勒斯坦人谋求联合国承认其国家地位之际，以色列对恢复中东和平进程的一项国际努力做出了正式反应。

Israel has welcomed a proposal by international mediators to resume peace talks with the Palestinians "immediately and without preconditions."

以色列对国际调停人员提出立即与巴勒斯坦人恢复“无预设条件”的和谈的建议表示欢迎。

The Quartet of Middle East mediators, the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia, unveiled the proposal more than a week ago after the Palestinians submitted a request for statehood recognition at the U.N.

在巴勒斯坦人提交入联申请之后，由美国、欧盟、联合国以及俄罗斯组成的中东调停四方集团于一周前公布了这一建议。

The U.S. opposes the statehood bid, saying Palestinian independence should be achieved through negotiations with Israel. The Quartet called for a resumption of peace talks in a month, and a framework peace agreement on Palestinian statehood by the end of 2012.

美国反对巴勒斯坦人的入联申请，并且表示，巴勒斯坦人应当通过与以色列进行谈判来获得独立。中东问题四方集团敦促以巴双方在一个月内恢复和谈，并且在2012年年底之前，就巴勒斯坦的国家地位达成一项框架和平协议。

Israeli spokesman Mark Regev urged the Palestinians to abandon the effort for statehood at the U.N. and return to the negotiating table.

以色列发言人马克.雷格夫敦促巴勒斯坦人放弃入联努力，重返谈判桌。

"Israel is willing and has been willing for the immediate resumption of talks. We hope the Palestinian side will pick up the ball and we will indeed see a restarting of the Middle East peace process."

雷格夫说：“以色列现在愿意并且一直愿意立即恢复和谈。我们希望巴勒斯坦方面接受这一建议，我们确实将会看到中东和平进程重新开始。”
