以總理開始阻止伊核協議歷史使命

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is headed to Washington where he is set to give a controversial address to a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress.

以色列總理內塔尼亞胡前往華盛頓，準備在美國國會發表演講。他的這次演講計劃引起爭議。

The prime minister said Sunday at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport that he is on a "historic mission" to try and stop a nuclear deal with Iran.

內塔尼亞胡星期天在特拉維夫本古裏安機場說，他這次赴美的歷史使命是爭取阻止伊核協議。

The White House is angry that Republican House Speaker John Boehner did not consult with it before extending the invitation to Mr. Netanyahu to speak to the lawmakers. Some Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott the Netanyahu speech on Tuesday.

白宮對共和黨籍的衆議院議長貝納邀請內塔尼亞胡在國會發表演講前沒有與白宮磋商表示極爲不滿。一些民主黨議員準備以缺席抵制內塔尼亞胡星期二的演講。

National Security Adviser Susan Rice has called Mr. Netanyahu's plans "destructive to the fabric of the relationship." She said this past week that the relationship between the U.S. and Israel “has always been bipartisan,” but that it has been hampered by recent partisan moves.

白宮國家安全顧問蘇珊·賴斯表示，內塔尼亞胡的演講計劃破話美以關係的基礎。她本星期說，美國和以色列的關係一貫得到兩黨支持，但是由於最近共和黨的單方行動而受到損害。

Mr. Netanyahu, who is facing re-election later this month, said Sunday he would do "everything in my power" to insure Israel's future.

內塔尼亞胡面臨3月份的選舉。他星期天說，他將竭盡全力確保以色列的安全。
