Good morning. In late July, Itamar Ben-Gvir, West Bank settler and far-right extremist minister of security in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, joined a group of more than 2,000 Jewish extremists to storm(猛攻，闯入) al-Aqsa mosque compound, Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site. The far-right group has been doing this for years. Ben-Gvir has made series of visits to the site over the last three years, eroding(侵蚀，削弱) norms and inflaming(加剧，激化) tensions. Jordanian officials have recently warned that it could be at risk of an “imminent(迫在眉睫的)” Israeli takeover.
早上好。7月下旬，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡政府中的极右翼极端安全部长、约旦河西岸定居者伊塔马尔·本-格维尔，与2000多名犹太极端分子一起闯入阿克萨清真寺大院——耶路撒冷最敏感的圣地。这个极右翼团体多年来一直这样做。过去三年，本-格维尔多次访问该地点，侵蚀规范，加剧紧张局势。约旦官员最近警告说，该地点可能面临以色列“迫在眉睫”接管的危险。
With national elections scheduled in October, and many eyes still firmly on Gaza (this weekend, Netanyahu rejected a US-backed 15 point plan for peace), the Israeli government appears to be racing to(急于做某事) expand Israeli settlements and accelerate(加速，促进) ethnic cleansing(种族清洗) of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem before its mandate(任期，授权) expires.
由于全国大选定于10月举行，且许多目光仍紧盯着加沙（本周末，内塔尼亚胡拒绝了美国支持的15点和平计划），以色列政府似乎正竞相在其任期届满前扩大以色列定居点，并加速对约旦河西岸和东耶路撒冷巴勒斯坦人的种族清洗。
For this morning’s First Edition, I spoke to our senior international correspondent, Julian Borger, about the latest incursions(入侵，侵犯), and how Israeli extremists are trying to create a new reality(创造新现实) in Jerusalem. That’s after the weekend roundup.
在今天早上的《第一版》中，我与我们的资深国际记者朱利安·博格谈论了最新的入侵事件，以及以色列极端分子如何试图在耶路撒冷创造新的现实。那是在周末综述之后。
