伊朗在被指控炸毀的摩薩德工廠重啟核武器零部件生產-報告
離心機濃縮鈾以用於製造核武器，與舊型號相比，伊朗的一些更先進的型號可以將這一過程加快四到五倍的速度。

據《華爾街日報》週二報導，伊朗已在卡拉傑核設施恢復生產先進離心機設備，它指責摩薩德在 6 月份炸毀了該核設施。
該報告援引西方外交消息人士的話說，他們擔心伊朗如果希望秘密接近核武器，可能會開始秘密地將先進的離心機轉移到未申報的地點。
離心機濃縮鈾以用於製造核武器，與舊型號相比，伊朗的一些更先進的型號可以將這一過程加快四到五倍的速度。
國際原子能機構 9 月承認，由於伊斯蘭共和國拒絕讓核檢查員進入現場或解釋監控攝像機的情況，自 6 月以來它一直對卡拉傑發生的事情視而不見，從而加劇了這些擔憂。 .
儘管德黑蘭聲稱推遲 IAEA 進入與其調查 6 月該地點遭到據稱由摩薩德指揮的無人機襲擊的破壞性襲擊有關，但 IAEA 總幹事拉菲爾·格羅西已在 9 月表示，這種解釋不再適用。保持水。

前總理埃胡德·巴拉克 (Ehud Barak)表示擔心，隨著 60% 濃縮鈾和先進離心機的供應不斷增加，與過去相比，隱藏核計劃的各個方面會更容易，因為過去需要更大的空間來容納更多的人使用不太先進的離心機來濃縮低質量的鈾。
前摩薩德主管尤西·科恩也對伊朗採取秘密行動的能力表示擔憂，並且美國若要恢復與伊朗的核協議，就需要對核計劃進行更嚴格的控制。
引述西方外交官的話說，沒有跡象表明伊朗試圖更快地獲得核武器，但不清楚他們如何知道德黑蘭是否試圖秘密這樣做。
以色列情報官員還表示擔心，越先進的離心機——無論是公開的還是隱蔽的——伊朗可能會按照其 1999-2003 年的計劃，用五枚核武器而不是一枚核武器來突破的危險就越大。
目前尚不清楚西方外交官如何在沒有親臨現場的情況下獲得有關卡拉季總體事態發展的信息，以及這些啟示是基於伊朗傳遞的事態發展摘要還是獨立資源。
該報告還指出，170 台由卡拉傑生產的部件新建的先進離心機中的一些正在安裝在德黑蘭的 Fordo 設施中，該設施位於地下深處並經過加固。
此外，報告稱卡拉季的生產於 8 月恢復，但現在產量已躍升至更高水平。
伊朗的離心機生產將成為與定於 11 月 29 日恢復與世界大國恢復 2015 年核協議的談判中的一個關鍵問題。 最新洩露的報告可能是阿亞圖拉試圖恐嚇拜登政府同意新的讓步是擔心如果不盡快達成協議，伊朗會走多遠。
以色列繼續反對任何以 2015 年協議為藍本的談判，它認為該協議太弱，無法限制伊朗的核濃縮、彈道導彈計劃和地區侵略，更不用說其即將在 2025 年和 2030 年到期。
由於伊斯蘭共和國已經擁有 1,000 多台先進離心機，而 2015 年的交易將其限制在不到 100 台此類離心機，以色列情報官員擔心，任何不導致這些新離心機銷毀的交易都將幾乎毫無意義。
Iran restarts nuke parts production at facility Mossad accused of blowing up - report

Iran has resumed production of equipment for advanced centrifuges at the Karaj nuclear site that it accused the Mossad of blowing up in June, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The report cited Western diplomatic sources who expressed concern that Iran could start to secretly divert advanced centrifuges to undeclared sites if it wished to clandestinely move closer to a nuclear weapon.
Centrifuges enrich uranium for potentially making a nuclear weapon, and some of Iran’s more advanced models can speed up that process by a rate of four to five times compared to older models.
These concerns are exacerbated by the fact that the IAEA admitted in September that it has been blind to what is going on at Karaj since June because of the Islamic Republic’s refusal to grant the nuclear inspectors access to the site or explain what happened to the monitoring cameras.
Although Tehran has claimed that postponing IAEA access relates to its investigation of the June sabotage attack in which the site was attacked by a drone, allegedly directed by the Mossad, IAEA Director-General Rafel Grossi has already said in September that such an explanation no longer holds water.

Former prime minister Ehud Barak has expressed concern that with a newly growing supply of 60% enriched uranium and advanced centrifuges, it would be easier to hide aspects of the nuclear program than in the past, when a bigger space was needed for a much larger number of less advanced centrifuges to enrich lower quality uranium.
Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen has also expressed concerns about Iran’s ability to make clandestine moves and that any return of the US to a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic would require much stricter controls over the nuclear program.
The Western diplomats quoted said there was no sign that Iran was trying to break out faster to a nuclear weapon, but it was unclear how they would know if Tehran tried to do so clandestinely.

Israeli intelligence officials have also expressed concern that the more advanced centrifuges there are – overt or covert – the greater the danger that Iran could breakout not with one but with five nuclear weapons, along the lines of its 1999-2003 plans.
It was unclear how the Western diplomats had information on general developments at Karaj without getting to physically visit the site and whether the revelations were based on a summary of developments passed on by Iran or independent resources.
The report also noted that some of the 170 newly built advanced centrifuges from the parts produced at Karaj were being installed in Tehran’s Fordow facility, deep underground and fortified.
In addition, the report said that production at Karaj resumed in August, but that now production had jumped to much higher levels.
Iran’s production of centrifuges will be a critical issue in talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal with the world powers scheduled to resume November 29. It is possible that the latest leaked reports might be an attempt by the ayatollahs to intimidate the Biden administration into agreeing to new concessions for fear of how far Iran will go if no deal is cut soon.
Israel continues to oppose any negotiations modeled after the 2015 deal which it considers too weak to limit Iran’s nuclear enrichment, ballistic missile program and regional aggression not to mention its approaching expiration dates in 2025 and 2030.
With the Islamic Republic already at more than 1,000 advanced centrifuges and the 2015 deal limiting it to fewer than 100 such centrifuges, Israeli intelligence officials are concerned that any deal which does not lead to the destruction of these new centrifuges will be close to meaningless.
亞美尼亞要求俄羅斯保護阿塞拜疆

俄羅斯塔斯社週二表示，在發生嚴重邊境衝突後，亞美尼亞已要求俄羅斯幫助捍衛其對阿塞拜疆的領土主權。
去年，亞美尼亞民族軍隊與土耳其支持的阿塞拜疆軍隊之間進行了 44 天的戰爭，造成至少 6,500 人死亡，並以阿塞拜疆的決定性勝利告終，埃里溫和巴庫之間的緊張局勢仍然很嚴重。
阿塞拜疆國防部周二早些時候談到了它所說的與亞美尼亞邊境的緊張局勢，並表示正在進行軍事行動。
它說亞美尼亞軍隊正在用大砲和迫擊砲炮轟阿塞拜疆軍隊的陣地。
俄羅斯新聞機構在一份聲明中援引亞美尼亞國防部的話說，阿塞拜疆在正在進行的戰鬥中使用大砲、輕武器和裝甲。

塔斯社說，四名亞美尼亞士兵受傷。
“由於阿塞拜疆襲擊了亞美尼亞的主權領土，我們要求俄羅斯根據我們兩國之間現有的 1987 年（相互防禦）協議來捍衛亞美尼亞的領土完整，”國際文傳電訊社援引亞美尼亞安全理事會秘書亞門格里戈良的話說。
俄羅斯在亞美尼亞設有軍事基地，在去年戰爭爆發的納戈爾諾-卡拉巴赫飛地設有維和部隊。
俄羅斯沒有立即回應亞美尼亞的呼籲。

Armenia has asked Russia to help defend its territorial sovereignty against Azerbaijan after a reported heavy border clash, Russia's TASS news agency said on Tuesday.
Tensions between Yerevan and Baku remain high after a 44-day war last year between ethnic Armenian forces and the Azeri army, backed by Turkey, that killed at least 6,500 people and ended in a decisive victory for Azerbaijan.
The Azeri defense ministry earlier on Tuesday spoke of what it said was a tense situation on the border with Armenia where it said a military operation was underway.

TASS said four Armenian soldiers had been wounded.
"Since Azerbaijan has attacked Armenia's sovereign territory we are asking Russia to defend Armenia's territorial integrity based on an existing 1987 (mutual defense) agreement between our countries," Interfax cited Armen Grigoryan, the secretary of Armenia's Security Council, as saying.
Russia has a military base in Armenia as well as a peacekeeping force in the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave where last year's war unfolded.
There was no immediate response from Russia to the Armenian appeal.
歐盟準備對白俄羅斯實施制裁 法國警告俄羅斯
法國周一告訴俄羅斯，北約將準備捍衛烏克蘭的主權，而西方領導人則試圖解決歐盟東部邊界的移民危機。

法國周一告訴俄羅斯，北約將準備捍衛烏克蘭的主權，在北約稱莫斯科一直在進行部隊集結的地方附近，而西方領導人則試圖解決歐盟東部邊界的移民危機。
歐盟同意加強對白俄羅斯的製裁，原因是數以千計的移民滯留在與歐盟接壤的冰凍森林中。俄羅斯的親密盟友白俄羅斯表示，它助長了危機的說法是“荒謬的”。
作為西方領導人與俄羅斯、白俄羅斯和烏克蘭之間一系列對話的一部分，這位法國領導人通過電話與俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京 (Vladimir Putin) 交談，表達了他對烏克蘭邊境局勢的強烈關切。
“總統重申了我們捍衛烏克蘭主權和領土完整的意願，”馬克龍的一名顧問在談到馬克龍發起的對話時告訴記者。
克里姆林宮發言人德米特里·佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）早些時候駁斥了美國國務院關於白俄羅斯邊境危機旨在轉移人們對俄羅斯在另一個前蘇聯加盟共和國烏克蘭附近增加軍事活動的注意力的聲明是“錯誤的”。

歐盟正在尋求阻止它所說的白俄羅斯推動移民走向它的政策，以報復早先對去年針對資深領導人亞歷山大·盧卡申科（Alexander Lukashenko）有爭議的連任的抗議活動進行鎮壓的製裁。
白俄羅斯和俄羅斯都一再否認任何角色。
北約秘書長延斯·斯托爾滕貝格週一早些時候表示，北約不想推測俄羅斯對烏克蘭的意圖，同時補充說：“我們看到部隊異常集中，我們知道俄羅斯之前一直願意使用這些類型的軍事能力。對烏克蘭採取積極行動。”
美國的擔憂
美國國防部表示，它繼續看到俄羅斯在與烏克蘭接壤的邊界附近集中兵力並進行不尋常的軍事活動。五角大樓發言人約翰柯比表示，集結令人擔憂，美國國防部長勞埃德奧斯汀將於週四會見烏克蘭國防部長。
2014 年，俄羅斯支持的分離主義分子在一場持續不斷的衝突中控制了烏克蘭東部的頓巴斯地區。同年早些時候，在前蘇聯共和國尋求與歐盟建立更密切的關係後，莫斯科還從烏克蘭吞併了克里米亞。
莫斯科聲稱克里米亞周圍的黑海水域，儘管大多數國家認為該半島仍屬於烏克蘭。
在克里姆林宮宣讀與馬克龍的通話時，普京表示，美國及其盟友在后海舉行的大規模軍事演習是一種“挑釁”。
克里姆林宮說：“這加劇了俄羅斯與北約之間關係的緊張局勢。”
兩位領導人還討論了移民危機。馬克龍的顧問表示，他們已就降級的必要性達成一致，而克里姆林宮重申俄羅斯堅持要求歐盟直接與明斯克討論。
移民——主要來自伊拉克和阿富汗——今年開始出現在白俄羅斯與歐盟的陸地邊界上，試圖通過以前從未使用過的路線進入成員國立陶宛、拉脫維亞和波蘭。
歐盟最高外交官何塞普博雷爾表示，歐盟外交部長已經同意了第五套制裁措施，並將在未來幾天內敲定。他說，他們的目標是航空公司、旅行社和參與“非法推動移民”的個人。
拉脫維亞週一表示，它已經部署了 3,000 名士兵，用於在邊境附近舉行的先前未宣布的軍事演習。它、立陶宛和波蘭組成了歐盟和北約的東翼，而烏克蘭不是這兩個西方集團的成員。
波蘭警方在推特上說，數百名移民，其中一些是投擲石塊，週一再次嘗試越過波蘭 Starzyna 村附近的邊界，但被迫返回。
德國政府發言人說，德國總理默克爾和盧卡申科通過電話討論了對難民和移民的人道主義援助。
自去年白俄羅斯總統大選引發示威者大規模抗議以來，白俄羅斯總統與西方領導人之間的首次接觸，指責盧卡申科選舉舞弊，他否認這一指控。
發言人說，默克爾和盧卡申科同意繼續交流，但沒有表明取得突破。最近幾天，默克爾兩次與普京通話。
航空公司
路透社的一項調查顯示，近幾個月來，中東旅行社與白俄羅斯的運營商合作，為數千人提供了旅遊簽證。
歐盟執行機構歐洲委員會表示，在歐盟禁止白俄羅斯的國有航空公司白俄羅斯航空進入白俄羅斯的天空和機場後，它正在調查其他航空公司是否應該面臨制裁。愛爾蘭表示，歐盟與 Belavia 的飛機租賃合同也將終止。
盧卡申科說，白俄羅斯試圖說服移民回家，但他們都不想返回。他說，明斯克將對任何新的歐盟制裁進行報復。
幾個月來，歐盟一直在加強對白俄羅斯的製裁。已經實施的限制措施包括將盧卡申科、他的兒子和其他 165 名白俄羅斯官員列入黑名單，以及對鉀肥貿易的限制，鉀肥是一種重要的出口產品。
在華盛頓，白宮表示正在與歐盟盟國保持密切聯繫，以追究白俄羅斯政府的責任。
已派出戰略轟炸機在白俄羅斯上空巡邏的克里姆林宮表示，普京周日與盧卡申科進行了交談，儘管明斯克威脅要切斷通過亞馬爾管道到歐洲的運輸，但莫斯科沒有計劃將天然氣從白俄羅斯轉移出去。
波蘭和白俄羅斯之間 200 公里長的陸地邊界沿線至少有 8 人死於寒冷和疲憊。人煙稀少的湖泊、沼澤和森林對試圖在 11 月寒冷夜晚圍著篝火取暖的人們變得更加敵對。
歐盟的博雷爾敦促華沙允許在邊境提供人道主義援助，波蘭在那裡部署了大約 20,000 名警察、邊防警衛和士兵。
France warns Russia as EU prepares sanctions on Belarus

France told Russia on Monday NATO would be prepared to defend the sovereignty of Ukraine, near where NATO says Moscow has been staging a troop buildup, while Western leaders sought to tackle a migrants crisis on the eastern borders of the European Union.
The European Union agreed to step up sanctions against Belarus over thousands of migrants stranded in freezing forests on its borders with the EU. Belarus, a close Russian ally, said assertions it had fueled the crisis were "absurd."
Speaking by telephone to Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of a flurry of conversations between Western leaders and Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, the French leader spoke of his strong concern over the situation on Ukraine's borders.

"Our willingness to defend Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity was reiterated by the president," an adviser to Macron told reporters of the conversation Macron initiated.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier dismissed as "wrong" a US State Department statement that the Belarus border crisis was meant to distract attention from increased Russian military activity close to Ukraine, another former Soviet republic.

The EU is seeking to stop what it says is a policy by Belarus to push migrants towards it to avenge earlier sanctions over a crackdown on protests last year against veteran leader Alexander Lukashenko's contested re-election.
Belarus and Russia have both repeatedly denied any role.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier on Monday NATO did not want to speculate on Russia's intentions on Ukraine, while adding: "We see an unusual concentration of troops, and we know that Russia has been willing to use these types of military capabilities before to conduct aggressive actions against Ukraine."

US CONCERN
The US Defense Department said it continued to see Russia concentrate forces along with unusual military activity near its border with Ukraine. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the build-up was concerning and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin would meet his Ukrainian counterpart on Thursday.
Russian-backed separatists took control of Ukraine's eastern Donbass region in 2014 in a conflict that has rumbled on. Moscow also annexed Crimea from Ukraine earlier that year after the former Soviet republic sought closer ties with the EU.
Moscow claims the Black Sea waters around Crimea, although most countries consider the peninsula still Ukrainian.
In the Kremlin's readout of the call with Macron, Putin said large-scale military drills staged by the United States and its allies in the Back Sea were a "provocation."
"This is increasing tensions in relations between Russia and NATO," the Kremlin said.

The two leaders also discussed the migrants crisis. Macron's adviser said they had agreed on the need for a deescalation while the Kremlin reiterated Russia's insistence that the EU discuss it directly with Minsk.
Migrants - mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan - began appearing on Belarus' land borders with the EU this year, trying to cross into member states Lithuania, Latvia and Poland via routes not used before.
The top EU diplomat, Josep Borrell, said a fifth package of sanctions had been agreed by EU foreign ministers and would be finalized in the coming days. They would target airlines, travel agencies and individuals involved in "this illegal push of migrants," he said.
Latvia said on Monday it had deployed 3,000 troops for a previously unannounced military exercise near the border. It, Lithuania and Poland make up the eastern flank of the EU and NATO, while Ukraine is not a member of either western group.
Several hundred migrants, some throwing stones, made a new attempt on Monday to cross the border near the Polish village of Starzyna, but were forced back, Polish police said on Twitter.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Lukashenko discussed humanitarian aid for refugees and migrants by telephone, a German government spokesperson said.
The talks are the first known contact between the Belarusian president and a Western leader since last year's presidential election in Belarus triggered mass protests by demonstrators accusing Lukashenko of electoral fraud, a charge he denies.
Merkel and Lukashenko agreed to continue their exchange, the spokesperson said, but gave no sign a breakthrough had been made. Merkel has spoken twice to Putin in recent days.
AIRLINES
Middle East travel agencies working together with operators in Belarus provided tourist visas to thousands of people in recent months, a Reuters investigation showed.
The EU's executive, the European Commision, said it was looking into whether other airlines should face sanctions after the bloc banned Belarus' state-owned carrier Belavia from its skies and airports. Ireland said EU aircraft leasing contracts with Belavia would also end.
Lukashenko said Belarus was trying to persuade migrants to go home but that none of them wanted to return. Minsk would retaliate against any new EU sanctions, he said.
The EU has been stepping up sanctions on Belarus for months. Curbs already in place include blacklisting of Lukashenko, his son and 165 other Belarusian officials, as well as restrictions on trade in potash, an important export.
In Washington, the White House said it was in close contact with EU allies to hold the government of Belarus accountable.
The Kremlin, which has sent strategic bombers to patrol over Belarus, said Putin spoke to Lukashenko on Sunday and Moscow had no plans to reroute gas flows away from Belarus despite Minsk threatening to cut transit to Europe through the Yamal pipeline.
At least eight people have died along the 200-km long land border between Poland and Belarus, including from cold and exhaustion. The sparsely populated area of lakes, swamps and forests is becoming even more hostile to people trying to keep warm around bonfires through the cold November nights.
The EU's Borrell urged Warsaw to allow humanitarian aid on the frontier, where Poland has deployed some 20,000 police, border guards and soldiers.
拜登對新疆、西藏、香港表示擔憂；習近平警告台灣“紅線”

官員們說，美國總統喬拜登週一在一個超過三個小時的電話中就北京的人權做法向中國總統施壓，而習近平警告說，中國將對台灣的挑釁做出回應。
雙方都將密切關注的世界最大經濟體領導人之間的對話描述為坦率和直接，因為雙方都試圖降低溫度並避免衝突。
會談似乎沒有立即產生結果，但讓兩位領導人有機會將他們的關係從冰冷的對抗中推開。
他們討論了朝鮮、阿富汗、伊朗、全球能源市場、貿易和競爭、氣候、軍事問題、流行病和其他經常出現分歧的領域。
據中國官方媒體報導，自從近兩年前 COVID-19 在世界範圍內傳播以來，習近平就沒有離開過他的國家，他將兩國比作“兩艘在海上航行的巨輪”，需要穩定以防止它們相撞。
據新華社報導，習近平對拜登說：“我希望總統先生，你能夠發揮政治領導作用，使美國的對華政策回到理性和務實的軌道上。”

拜登也談到了避免衝突。
“在我看來，作為中美兩國領導人，我們的責任是確保我們兩國之間的競爭不會轉向衝突，無論是有意還是無意，”拜登在美國記者觀察到的短暫交流中說。“只是簡單、直接的競爭。”
一位美國高級官員隨後表示，兩位領導人進行了“健康的辯論”。這位美國官員說，拜登強調了中國履行與拜登前任唐納德特朗普談判的貿易承諾的重要性。
中國在承諾再購買 2000 億美元的美國商品和服務方面落後，但中國官員表示，習近平告訴拜登，避免將這個問題政治化很重要。
美國官員說，兩位領導人還討論了採取措施解決全球能源供應問題。中國官員表示，習近平同意為美國商務官員來華升級“快速通道”。
這位美國官員說，美國是否會派白宮特使參加 2 月的北京冬奧會的爭議性問題沒有出現。
台灣紅線
在台灣問題上仍存在尖銳分歧，會談後很明顯。
拜登重申美國長期支持“一個中國”政策 https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/biden-says-he-chinas-xi-have-agreed-abide-by-taiwan -agreement-2021-10-05 根據該協議正式承認北京而不是台北，他還表示，他“強烈反對單方面改變現狀或破壞台海和平與穩定的努力，”白宮表示。
據新華社報導，習近平說台灣尋求獨立的人和他們在美國的支持者是在“玩火”。
“中國有耐心，以極大的誠意和努力尋求和平統一，但如果台灣分裂分子挑釁，甚至越過紅線，我們將不得不採取果斷措施。”
一位美國官員表示，儘管拜登提出了“非常明確的擔憂”，但在台灣問題上“沒有以護欄或任何其他諒解的形式建立任何新的共識”。
習近平反對華盛頓在國際體系中為台灣開闢更多空間的努力，拜登最近關於美國將在某些情況下保衛台灣的言論也加劇了緊張局勢。
中國聲稱這個自治島是自己的。北京已發誓要將該島置於中國控制之下，並在必要時使用武力。
台灣外交部回應會談時表示，希望中國承擔起維護台海和平、通過對話解決分歧的“共同責任”。
拜登提出了北京視為國內關注的其他問題，包括處理西藏、香港和新疆的問題，中國的政策經常受到外國人權組織的譴責。
自拜登成為總統以來，拜登和習近平就沒有進行過面對面的會面，他們最後一次交談是在 9 月份通過電話。當中國國家主席出現在白宮會議室的大屏幕上時，美國總統笑容滿面。
“至少他們在說話，”來自新加坡華僑銀行的經濟學家 Wellian Wiranto 在會談中寫道。“這似乎是全球市場對任何具體結果的主要預期——或缺乏結果。”

"I hope that, Mr. President, you can exercise political leadership to return the United States' China policy to a rational and pragmatic track," Xi told Biden, according to Xinhua.

Biden spoke of avoiding conflict as well.
"It seems to me our responsibility as leaders of China and the United States is to ensure that our competition between our countries does not veer into conflict, whether intended or unintended," Biden said during a short exchange observed by American reporters. "Just simple, straightforward competition."

The two leaders had a "healthy debate," a senior US official said afterward. Biden stressed the importance of China fulfilling its commitments under a trade negotiated with Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, the US official said.
China is lagging in a commitment to buy $200 billion more in US goods and services, but Chinese officials said Xi told Biden that it was important to avoid politicizing the issue.
The two leaders also discussed taking measures to address global energy supplies, US officials said. Chinese officials said Xi agreed to upgrade a "fast track lane" for US business officials to come to China.
The contentious issue of whether the United States will send White House envoys to the Beijing Winter Olympics in February did not come up, the US official said.
RED LINE FOR TAIWAN
Sharp differences over Taiwan remain, it was clear after the talks.

While Biden reiterated US's long-standing support for the "One China" policy https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/biden-says-he-chinas-xi-have-agreed-abide-by-taiwan-agreement-2021-10-05 under which it officially recognizes Beijing rather than Taipei, he also said he "strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," the White House said.
Xi said those in Taiwan who seek independence, and their supporters in the United States, are "playing with fire," according to Xinhua.
"China is patient and seeks peaceful reunification with great sincerity and effort, but if Taiwan secessionists provoke, or even cross the red line, we will have to take decisive measures."
A US official said "there was nothing new established in the form of guard rails or any other understandings" on Taiwan, though Biden raised "very clear concerns."
Xi objects to Washington's efforts to carve out more space for Taiwan in the international system, and recent comments by Biden that the US would defend Taiwan in certain cases also inflamed tensions.
China claims the self-ruled island as its own. Beijing has vowed to bring the island under Chinese control, by force if necessary.
Taiwan's Foreign Ministry, responding to the talks, said it hoped that China could assume its "common responsibility" to maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait and resolve differences through dialog.
Biden raised other issues that Beijing regards as its domestic concern, including its handling of Tibet, Hong Kong and Xinjiang, where China's policies face frequent censure by foreign rights groups.
Biden and Xi have not had a face-to-face meeting since Biden became president and the last time they spoke it was via telephone in September. The US president smiled broadly as the Chinese president appeared on a large screen in the White House conference room.
"At least they are talking," economist Wellian Wiranto from OCBC Bank in Singapore wrote during the talks. "That seems to be the main expectation by global markets when it comes to any concrete outcome – or a lack thereof."
衛星，十字準線中的船隻：俄羅斯，中國是否在美國繞圈？- 分析
俄羅斯正在對衛星進行導彈試驗，中國已經建造了模擬美國航空母艦用於目標練習。這些是對美國的威脅嗎？

華盛頓對俄羅斯進行了美國所說的“危險和不負責任”的導彈試驗感到困惑。它的目標是俄羅斯自己的一顆衛星，作為明顯的反衛星導彈系統的一部分。美國表示，該測試危及國際空間站（ISS）的機組人員。
與此同時，USNI News 的 HI Sutton 指出，“根據衛星照片，在中國偏遠的沙漠中發現了第二個疑似美國航空母艦形狀的導彈目標。” 這艘航母看起來是導彈的目標。“航母目標距離塔克拉瑪干沙漠中一個更大的疑似導彈射程約 300 英里，”USNI News 週日首次報導。“這兩個站點具有相似的特徵，並且在地圖上對齊，運營商面向同一方向——就像在車隊中一樣。與第一個一樣，這個新目標與美國海軍航空母艦具有相同的尺寸，”報告指出。
中國也在建造新的航母，其中一艘最早可能在明年下水。美國似乎每週都在對有關此類威脅的新報導做出反應，無論是高超音速導彈還是“航母摧毀”導彈，還是對太空和美國全球角色的威脅。
還有其他威脅。美國和西方盟友正在談論保衛烏克蘭對抗俄羅斯。他們還捲入了與白俄羅斯的潛在衝突。與此同時，美國總統喬拜登警告中國不要對台灣採取行動。
危機的清單越來越多，美國已經發出信號，表示它希望從 20 年的全球反恐戰爭轉向對抗俄羅斯和中國等“近鄰”對手。但俄羅斯和中國眼睜睜地看著美國從阿富汗撤軍，在其他地方一次次被推諉。例如，土耳其讓美國從敘利亞部分地區撤軍，甚至在地面上攻擊其合作夥伴，而美國一直保持沉默。

華盛頓能否同時處理所有這些新出現的問題？它似乎對中國高超音速導彈的進展感到驚訝。中國使用模擬美國艦船進行目標練習和俄羅斯摧毀衛星的故事似乎都是對美國潛在的新挑戰。
儘管美國擁有最先進的軍事技術，例如 F-35，但它的採購通常很慢，並且多年來一直固步自封。有新武器在籌備中，美國希望投資其海軍，但在迪拜等航展上，俄羅斯等國往往成為焦點，最近他們的新型“將死”戰機。這些飛機是否真的像設計師所說的那樣好還不清楚，但有時重要的是感知，人們認為美國在任何地方都受到挑戰。
美國以前也來過。1970 年，理查德·尼克松總統在一次演講中說：“如果當籌碼下降時，世界上最強大的國家美利堅合眾國表現得像一個可憐無助的巨人，極權主義和無政府狀態的力量將威脅到自由國家和世界各地的自由機構。”
今天，這似乎比以往任何時候都更加真實。大西洋的新封面說“壞人正在獲勝”。在這篇重要文章中，安妮·阿普爾鮑姆寫道：“如果 20 世紀是一場緩慢、不平衡的鬥爭，最終以自由民主戰勝其他意識形態——共產主義、法西斯主義、惡毒的民族主義——21 世紀是，那麼遠，一個相反的故事。”
的確，威權主義者無處不在。土耳其一直在驅逐敘利亞難民以獲取 Tik Tok 視頻，並鎮壓了所有異議。北約負責人延斯·斯托爾滕貝格（Jens Stoltenberg）被問及為什麼土耳其在成為極權主義政權後仍是北約成員。他試圖回答，但答案是空洞的。安卡拉不再堅持北約旨在保護的任何價值觀。安卡拉與俄羅斯、中國以及伊朗合作。所有的獨裁者一起工作。委內瑞拉和白俄羅斯是土耳其、伊朗和俄羅斯的重要合作夥伴。
這些國家都感覺到美國和西方的弱點。但他們知道美國在軍事技術和美國盟友網絡方面仍然強大，無論是五眼網絡還是其他組織。相比之下，威權主義者才剛剛開始在上海合作組織等論壇上合作。
雖然一些極右翼政權，如巴基斯坦的伊姆蘭汗 (Imran Khan) 政權，認為多極世界很重要，取代美國的霸權，但當像巴基斯坦這樣的國家幾乎無法管理自己的邊界時，實現這一目標就很困難。但威權主義聯盟正在取得進展。這些在高超音速導彈和太空領域的成就將開始削弱美國的作用。
很明顯，雖然美國花了 20 年時間與極端分子作鬥爭，但它在很大程度上最終撤出了阿富汗並將其交還給塔利班。它必須與卡塔爾等專制政府以及與伊朗關係密切的伊拉克團體合作。與此同時，沒有參與這些​​“無休止戰爭”的美國對手正在建立自己的武器庫，並在世界範圍內出售影響力。中國正在進軍非洲和南美，俄羅斯正在擴大其影響力，土耳其和伊朗也是如此。
雖然衛星試驗和中國沙漠中的靶艦隻是像徵，但頭條新聞表明，美國一直試圖將注意力從烏克蘭等地轉移到台灣。它可以同時防禦嗎？時間會告訴我們的。
Satellites, ships in crosshairs: Are Russia, China running circles around US? - analysis
Russia is carrying out missile tests on satellites and China has built mock US aircraft carriers for target practice. Are these threats to the US?

Washington is nonplussed that Russia has conducted what the US calls a “dangerous and irresponsible” missile test. It targeted one of Russia’s own satellites as part of an apparent anti-satellite missile system. The US says that the test endangered the crew of the International Space Station (ISS).
Meanwhile, H.I. Sutton at USNI News noted that “a second suspected missile target in the shape of a US aircraft carrier has been spotted in a remote Chinese desert, according to satellite photos.” The carrier looks to be a target for missiles. “Carrier target is about 300 miles away from a larger suspected missile range in the Taklamakan Desert,” first reported by USNI News on Sunday. “The two sites share similar characteristics and are aligned on a map with the carriers facing the same direction – as if in a convoy. Like the first, this new target shares the same dimensions as a US Navy aircraft carrier,” the report notes.
China is also building new aircraft carriers, one of which may be launched as early as next year. The US appears to be reacting every week to new reports about these kinds of threats, whether it is hypersonic missiles or “carrier destroying” missiles, or threats to space and America’s global role.
Latest articles from Jpost
There are other threats as well. The US and Western allies are talking about defending Ukraine against Russia. They are also embroiled in a potential clash with Belarus. At the same time US President Joe Biden is warning China not to take action against Taiwan.
The list of crises is growing and the US has signaled that it wants to move from 20 years of the global war on terror to face down “near-peer” adversaries like Russia and China. But Russia and China have watched the US withdraw from Afghanistan and be pushed around again and again in other places. Turkey, for instance, got the US to withdraw from part of Syria and even attacked its partners on the ground and the US has stayed silent.

Can Washington simultaneously deal with all these emerging problems? It appears to have been surprised by the Chinese hypersonic missile gains. The stories about China using mock US ships for target practice and Russia destroying a satellite all seem to be potential new challenges to the US.
While America has the most sophisticated military technology, such as F-35s, it is generally slow at procurement and has rested on its laurels for years. There are new weapons in the pipeline and the US wants to invest in its navy but at air shows like Dubai it tends to be countries like Russia that steal the spotlight, most recently with their new “Checkmate” warplane. Whether those planes are actually as good as the designers say is unclear but what matters sometimes is perception and the perception is that the US is being challenged everywhere.
The US has been here before. In 1970, President Richard Nixon said in a speech, “if, when the chips are down, the world’s most powerful nation, the United States of America, acts like a pitiful, helpless giant, the forces of totalitarianism and anarchy will threaten free nations and free institutions throughout the world.”
This is a big loss for Sylvester Stallone.Sponsored by Mansion Global
Today this appears to be more true than ever. The new cover of The Atlantic says “The bad guys are winning.” In the important article, Anne Applebaum writes the following: “If the 20th century was the story of a slow, uneven struggle, ending with the victory of liberal democracy over other ideologies – communism, fascism, virulent nationalism – the 21st century is, so far, a story of the reverse.”
Indeed, the authoritarians are on the march everywhere. Turkey has been deporting Syrian refugees for Tik Tok videos and has crushed all dissent. NATO-head Jens Stoltenberg was pressed on why Turkey is a member of NATO when it has become a totalitarian regime. He tried to answer, but the answers are hollow. Ankara no longer upholds any of the values that NATO was designed to protect. Ankara works with Russia and China as well as Iran. All the dictatorships work together. Venezuela and Belarus are key partners of Turkey, Iran and Russia.
These countries all sense weakness in the US and the West. But they know the US is still strong when it comes to military technology and also when it comes to the US network of allies, whether the Five Eyes network, or other groupings. The authoritarians by contrast are just beginning to work together in forums like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
While some far-right regimes, like Imran Khan’s in Pakistan, have argued that a multi-polar world is important, replacing US hegemony, getting there is difficult when countries like Pakistan barely govern their own borders. But the alliance of authoritarians is making gains. These achievements in hypersonic missiles and in space will begin to eat away at the US role.
It’s clear that while the US spent 20 years fighting extremists, it largely ended up withdrawing and handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban. It has to partner with governments like Qatar that are authoritarian and also with groups in Iraq that are close to Iran. Meanwhile, US adversaries, who were not engaged in these “endless wars” were building their arsenals and also selling influence around the world. China was moving into Africa and South America, Russia was spreading its weight and so are Turkey and Iran.
While the satellite test and the target ships in the Chinese desert are just symbols, the headlines show that the US is constantly trying to shift its focus from places like Ukraine to Taiwan. Can it defend both? Time will tell.

Belarus is forcing migrants to breach its borders with the European Union, and the government of President Alexander Lukashenko must be held accountable for human trafficking, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia said on Monday.
"We … condemn the actions taken by the Lukashenko regime instrumentalizing migrants for political purposes," the presidents of the three Baltic states said in a joint statement after meeting Polish President Andrzej Duda via video link.
The European Union has accused Lukashenko of orchestrating an influx of migrants to EU members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia to pressure the EU to back down over sanctions slapped on his government. Belarus has repeatedly denied the accusation.

"Thousands of people who flew into Belarus from Middle Eastern and African countries are being directed, in caravans, to storm the border of the European Union," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda told a news conference.
"It is obvious what Lukashenko's regime and its allies want - to test the unity of the Western world," he added.

He said that "video recordings, pictures and other evidence" proved involvement of Belarus officials, as well as its close ally
Russia in stirring up the crisis.
"This is illustrated by the obvious increasing activity of migrants traveling via Moscow (to the EU border), compensating for the loss of flights from Iraq to Minsk," Nauseda said.
He did not give evidence to show routes via Moscow were being used. Russia has repeatedly denied any role in the movement of migrants to Belarus and on to its western borders with the EU.

European Union foreign ministers signed off on Monday on changes to the bloc's sanctions framework, preparing the way for a new round of sanctions on Belarus as well as airlines and travel agencies moving the migrants.
Estonian President Alar Karis, Latvian President Egils Levits and Nauseda urged the European Commission to change EU laws to tighten asylum options and pay for barriers to be built on the bloc's external borders, such as those with Belarus.
Lithuania and Latvia would join Poland if it decided to ask for emergency NATO consultation under Article 4 of the defense alliance's governing treaty, the presidents of the two countries said.
Under Article 4, any ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened.
"The integration of Belarus into the Russian military system is now a done deal. NATO needs to change its strategy and military plans accordingly," Nauseda said.
The Kremlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the suggestions migrants were flying through Moscow and that Belarus was being militarily integrated with Russia.

總理納夫塔利·貝內特 (Naftali Bennett) 並沒有試圖怠慢週一在以色列的美國伊朗問題特使羅伯·馬利 (Rob Malley)。他只是不想通過會見他來傳達關於馬利正在做什麼的積極信息。
如果這聽起來與您矛盾，那麼，您不是唯一一個。
與貝內特關係密切的消息人士堅持指出協議是為了回應有關冷落的報導。畢竟，他們說，美國伊朗問題特別代表與以色列領導人不在一個外交級別——貝內特也沒有會見本週在以色列的財政部副部長沃利·阿德耶莫。

然而，外交部長亞伊爾·拉皮德和國防部長本尼·甘茨無視禮節並會見了馬利。此外，前總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡在與馬利的前任埃利奧特·艾布拉姆斯和布賴恩·胡克會面時並沒有提升等級。
前伊朗特使是胡克和艾布拉姆斯，他們是 2015 年聯合綜合行動計劃的堅定反對者，而現任特使是拜登政府核協議的最大推動者馬利，這讓一切變得不同。馬利倡導的接觸在這一點上尤其重要，因為美國和伊朗之間的間接談判應該在兩週內重啟。

貝內特不想通過與他會面來傳達他支持馬利的努力的信息，並且該信息響亮而清晰，即使他的辦公室對使用“怠慢”和“抵制”等詞的記者不滿意。
“我們不想讓一個非常非常錯誤的程序合法化，”一位高級外交消息人士說。“我們真的不希望美國人認為以色列對正在發生的事情感到滿意。不是。”
與此同時，以色列與美國的最高級別保持不斷接觸，以表達其不滿。

與貝內特不同，拉皮德認為與馬利會面是表達這些擔憂的合適場所，因為他是外交部長，而馬利是美國同等機構國務院的代表，處理與伊朗一樣重要的問題。拉皮德重申以色列反對 JCPOA，並認為伊朗正在利用談判拖延更多時間，以繼續推進其核計劃的突破。
會議中的一位消息人士表示，會議進展順利，馬利主要聽取了拉皮德的觀點。
儘管會議沒有什麼新鮮事——雙方的觀點都是眾所周知的並且沒有改變——“重要的是，他們聽取我們的意見，因為他們過去不這樣做，”消息人士推測。
不止一位以色列高級外交消息人士表示，此時，拜登政府正在尋求重返 JCPOA，但即使是華盛頓也意識到這是一個漫長的過程。
在伊朗人繼續提出他們同意重返六方會談，因為只有一個制裁救濟行動。
據伊朗官方媒體新聞電視台週五報導，最高談判代表阿里·巴蓋里·卡尼 (Ali Bagheri Kani) 表示：“會談不會涉及核問題。” “從伊朗伊斯蘭共和國的角度來看，這些會談的主要目的是解除美國政府在2018年退出伊朗協議後對伊朗國家實施的非法制裁”。
如果伊朗在談判中堅持這種模式，美國退出協議的唯一選擇就是所謂的“以少取少”。美國將取消制裁，以換取伊朗不繼續推進其核協議，但不會收回其近年來在JCPOA最初限制之外取得的巨大進展。

對於以色列來說，這個選擇甚至比 JCPOA 更糟糕，它給予伊朗大量資金來做它上次獲得經濟救濟時所做的事情——在整個地區點燃代理人戰爭——並且比以往任何時候都更接近核武器的門檻。它在幾乎沒有得到任何回報的情況下減輕對伊朗的壓力。
一位外交消息人士稱，馬利-拉皮德會議沒有提到“以少換少”，但以色列和美國官員已經提到了這一點，以色列方面明確表示反對。
以色列仍然對美國所採取的方向及其努力推動重返 JCPOA 感到失望和擔憂，即使隨著時間的推移，與伊朗達成此類協議的任何好處變得越來越難以捉摸。
然而貝內特和拉皮德仍然堅持認為，雖然伊朗協議存在重大分歧，但他們選擇了正確的戰略，沒有在這方面對拜登政府進行大規模的公開競選。他們盡可能繼續合作，維護美以密切關係的戰略資產，耶路撒冷在最重要的時候大聲疾呼——他們認為這是反對 JCPOA，並為巴勒斯坦人在耶路撒冷開設領事館。
通過這種方式，貝內特不與馬利會面的計算是他在反對拜登政府對伊朗的提議的狹隘範圍內發出信息的方式，同時又不公開挑釁。由於禮節，他不必與馬利會面，而且由於其潛在的內容，他也不會這樣做。
Bennett quietly expresses discontent with US overtures to Iran - analysis

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett isn’t trying to snub US Envoy for Iran Rob Malley, who was in Israel on Monday. He just doesn’t want to send a positive message about what Malley is doing by meeting him.
If that sounds contradictory to you, well, you’re not the only one.
Sources close to Bennett insisted on pointing to protocol in response to reports of a snub. After all, they said, the US special representative for Iran is not at the same diplomatic level as Israel’s leader – Bennett also did not meet with Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo, who was in Israel this week.

However, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz flouted protocol and met with Malley. Plus, former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not pull rank when he made sure to meet with Malley’s predecessors, Elliott Abrams and Brian Hook.
That the previous Iran envoys were Hook and Abrams, staunch opponents of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and the current one is Malley, the nuclear deal’s biggest booster in the Biden administration, makes all the difference. Malley’s advocacy for engagement is especially relevant at this point because indirect talks between the US and Iran are supposed to restart in two weeks.

Bennett did not want to send a message that he supports Malley’s efforts by meeting with him, and that message came through loud and clear, even if his office is unhappy with reporters using words like “snub” and “boycott.”
“We have no desire to legitimize a process that is very, very wrong,” said a senior diplomatic source. “We really don’t want the Americans to think that Israel is comfortable with what is happening. We’re not.”
At the same time, Israel remains in constant contact with the US at the highest levels to express its discontent.

Unlike Bennett, Lapid saw a meeting with Malley as an appropriate venue to air those concerns, since he is foreign minister and Malley is a representative of the State Department, the equivalent US agency, on a matter as important as Iran. Lapid reiterated Israel’s opposition to the JCPOA, and the view that Iran is using the negotiations to draw out more time as it continues to advance its nuclear program toward breakout.
A source in the meeting said it went well, with Malley mostly listening to Lapid’s point of view.
Though there was nothing new in the meeting – both sides’ views were known and did not change – “It’s important that they’re listening to us because they used to not do that,” the source posited.
More than one Israeli senior diplomatic source said that, at this point, the Biden administration is pursuing a return to the JCPOA, but even Washington realizes that it’s a longshot.
The Iranians continue to present their agreement to return to talks as only a sanctions relief move.
“The talks will not be about the nuclear issue,” said top negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani, according to Iranian state media Press TV on Friday. “The main purpose of these talks from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s standpoint is to remove the illegal sanctions imposed on the Iranian nation by the US government” after the US left the Iran Deal in 2018.
If Iran sticks to that model for the negotiations, the only option for the US to exit with a deal is what’s called “less for less.” The US would lift sanctions in exchange for Iran not continuing to advance its nuclear deal, but not rolling back the immense progress it has made in recent years beyond the original limits of the JCPOA.

For Israel, that option is even worse than the JCPOA, giving Iran massive funds to do what it did last time it got economic relief – ignite proxy warfare throughout the region – and remain closer to the threshold of a nuclear weapon than ever before. It is relieving pressure on Iran without receiving almost anything in return.
“Less for less” did not come up in the Malley-Lapid meeting, but it has been mentioned between Israeli and American officials, with the Israeli side making clear its unequivocal opposition, a diplomatic source said.
Israel remains disappointed and worried about the direction that the US is taking, and its hard push toward a return to the JCPOA, even when any benefit of such an agreement with Iran becomes more and more elusive as time goes on.
Yet Bennett and Lapid still maintain that while the gaps on the Iran deal are significant, they chose the right strategy by not making a big public campaign against the Biden administration on this front. They continue to cooperate whenever possible, maintaining the strategic asset of close US-Israel relations, and Jerusalem speaks out when it’s most important – which they view as opposing the JCPOA, and opening a consulate for the Palestinians in Jerusalem.
In that way, Bennett’s calculation not to meet with Malley is his way of sending a message within the narrow confines of opposing the Biden administration’s overtures to Iran while not picking a fight in public. He doesn’t have to meet with Malley because of protocol, and he’s not going to do it because of its potential content.
邁克爾弗林呼籲美國祇有“一種宗教”
ADL 和 AJC 與眾多團體和個人一起譴責邁克爾弗林的呼籲。

該反誹謗聯盟（ADL）和美國猶太人大會（AJC）已經在譴責邁克爾·弗林，前總統唐納德·特朗普的國家安全顧問，為美國的呼籲，要有一種宗教加入大量的團體和個人。
弗林周六在德克薩斯州為 ReAwaken America 舉行的集會上說：“如果我們要在上帝之下建立一個國家，這是我們必須的，我們必須擁有一個宗教，”這是由基督教新聞網 America Faith 支持的以基督教為主題的巡迴演講. “一個國家在上帝之下，一個宗教在上帝之下。”
ADL 的首席執行官喬納森·格林布拉特 (Jonathan Greenblatt) 和美國猶太人大會都在 Twitter 上稱弗林的聲明為“反美”。
格林布拉特說：“建議美利堅合眾國這個建立在多元化和信仰任何宗教自由的雙重基石上的國家應該‘擁有一個宗教’是反美、反民主和徹頭徹尾的危險。”
“邁克爾弗林的言論既不可接受，又反美，”美國猶太人大會說。“這種危險的言論與美國的價值觀背道而馳，威脅到我們民主的基礎。”

許多民主黨人和弗林在軍隊中擔任高級職務的一些老同事也譴責了弗林。
據報導，這次集會在聖安東尼奧的基石教堂舉行，由著名的福音派牧師約翰·哈吉 (John Hagee) 主持，他是基督教猶太復國主義團體 Christians United for Israel 的創始人。哈吉在特朗普政府 2018 年為美國新駐耶路撒冷大使館舉行的落成典禮上發表了講話。CUFI 發言人將記者的詢問轉至基石教堂。
在回答詢問時，基石新聞團隊說：“上週，基石教堂的設施被外部組織使用。基石教會與該組織沒有關聯，也不贊同他們的觀點。”

在弗林承認就他與俄羅斯官員的談話向特朗普政府高級官員撒謊後，特朗普解雇了弗林。他承認就這些談話向聯邦調查局撒謊，其中包括一次與以色列政策有關的談話。
特朗普最終赦免了弗林，而弗林成為了圍繞特朗普總統任期的一些更古怪的陰謀論的傳播者；他還支持特朗普關於喬·拜登總統的選舉具有欺詐性的錯誤說法。
格林布拉特將弗林的言論與 1 月 6 日在美國國會大廈發生的致命叛亂聯繫起來，這是特朗普聲稱的選舉舞弊造成的。
“作為一個國家，我們生活在創傷後的時刻，受到 1 月 6 日起義的影響，”他說。ADL“深切關注像弗林這樣的言論——將一種宗教提升到其他宗教之上——有可能進一步加劇這些裂痕並煽動政治暴力。”
弗林至少有一位猶太人支持者：俄亥俄州共和黨參議員候選人喬什·曼德爾 (Josh Mandel) 在競選中推行他所謂的“猶太-基督教”價值觀，他在推特上說：“我們與弗林將軍站在一起。”
2016 年，一些猶太團體加入了自由團體呼籲特朗普不要任命弗林擔任這項工作的行動，理由是他的反穆斯林言論和他轉發的反猶太言論。（他為誇大反猶言論而道歉。）
Michael Flynn calls for US to have only 'one religion'

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Jewish Congress (AJC) have joined numerous groups and individuals in condemning the call by Michael Flynn, former President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, for the United States to have one religion.
“If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion,” Flynn said Saturday at a rally in Texas for ReAwaken America, a Christian-themed speaking tour backed by the Christian news network America Faith. “One nation under God, and one religion under God.”
The ADL’s CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, and the American Jewish Congress both took to Twitter to call Flynn’s statement “anti-American.”

“To suggest that the United States of America, a nation founded on twin bedrocks of pluralism and the freedom to practice any religion, should ‘have one religion’ is anti-American, anti-democratic and downright dangerous,” Greenblatt said.
“Michael Flynn’s statements are both unacceptable & anti-American,” the American Jewish Congress said. “Such dangerous rhetoric runs counter to American values and threatens the foundations of our democracy.”

Numerous Democrats and a number of Flynn’s old colleagues in the military, where he reached senior ranks, also denounced Flynn.
The rally was reportedly held at the sanctuary of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, run by prominent evangelical pastor John Hagee — founder of the Christian Zionist group Christians United for Israel. Hagee spoke at the Trump administration’s 2018 dedication of the new US embassy in Jerusalem. A spokesman for CUFI directed a reporter’s inquiries to Cornerstone Church.
In response to a query, the Cornerstone press team said: “This past week, Cornerstone Church facilities were used by an outside organization. Cornerstone Church is not associated with this organization and does not endorse their views.”

Trump fired Flynn after he confessed to lying to senior Trump administration officials about conversations he’d had with Russian officials. He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about those conversations, including one conversation that had to do with Israel policy.
Trump eventually pardoned Flynn, and Flynn has become the purveyor of some of the more outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding Trump’s presidency; he’s also endorsed Trump’s false claim that President Joe Biden’s election was fraudulent.
Greenblatt tied Flynn’s rhetoric to the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, spurred by Trump’s claims of election fraud.
“We are living in a post-traumatic moment as a nation, reeling from the fallout of the Jan. 6 insurrection,” he said. The ADL “is deeply concerned that rhetoric like Flynn’s — which elevates one religion over others — has the potential to further those rifts and incite political violence.”
Flynn had at least one Jewish backer: Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate for senator in Ohio who has pushed what he calls “Judeo-Christian” values in his campaign, said on Twitter, “We stand with General Flynn.”
A number of Jewish groups in 2016 joined a call on Trump by liberal groups not to name Flynn to the job, citing his anti-Muslim rhetoric and his retweeting an antisemitic statement. (He apologized for amplifying the antisemitic statement.)
