默克爾“希特勒式胡子”照網(wǎng)上瘋傳

As far as political photographs go, it could go down as one of the most awkward in history.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been caught on camera unintentionally pointing his finger to form a shadow looking like a ‘Hitler moustache’ on German chancellor Angela Merkel’s face.

Inevitably, the photograph, which was taken by Jerusalem Post photographer Marc Israel Sellem, has gone viral on social media, with journalists laughing off the unfortunate mistake.

Mrs Merkel was speaking at a joint press conference with Mr Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

At the press conference, she said Germany views Iran as a potential threat not just to Israel, but also to European countries.

But she stopped short of endorsing her host's demand that Tehran give up all sensitive nuclear projects under any negotiated deal with world powers, and reiterated Berlin's opposition to Israeli settlements on occupied land where the Palestinians seek statehood.

Germany is Israel's most important ally in Europe, where the Netanyahu government frets it is losing support given troubled peace talks with the Palestinians.

That makes Merkel's views a bellwether of European sentiment on Middle East issues.

The German chancellor visited Jerusalem with her cabinet to mark almost 50 years of bilateral ties with Israel, which was founded in part as a haven for survivors of the Holocaust.

在所有拍攝政治活動(dòng)的照片中，這張照片恐怕是史上最難堪的。

德國(guó)總理默克爾日前在耶路撒冷與以色列總理內(nèi)塔尼亞胡共同召開新聞發(fā)布會(huì)時(shí)，后者無(wú)意間的一個(gè)手勢(shì)恰好在德國(guó)總理默克爾鼻下形成了一個(gè)形如‘希特勒式’胡子的陰影，而這一瞬間被照相機(jī)捕捉了下來(lái)。

隨后耶路撒冷郵報(bào)(Jerusalem Post)攝影記者馬克•以色列•瑟倫(Marc Israel Sellem)拍攝的這張照片迅速在社交媒體上瘋傳。

默克爾 2月24日率16名部長(zhǎng)在內(nèi)的代表團(tuán)抵達(dá)以色列，展開為期兩天的訪問(wèn)。

在發(fā)布會(huì)上，默克爾說(shuō)德國(guó)認(rèn)為伊朗不僅僅是以色列的潛在威脅，甚至是整個(gè)歐洲國(guó)家的威脅。

以色列要求伊朗放棄敏感的核計(jì)劃，對(duì)此默克爾未予支持，反而一再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)柏林反對(duì)以色列在巴勒斯坦被占領(lǐng)土上修建定居點(diǎn)。

德國(guó)是以色列在歐洲最重要的盟國(guó)，以色列在與巴勒斯坦和談中一直磕磕碰碰，默克爾的言論讓內(nèi)塔尼亞胡政府感受到了失去盟國(guó)支持后的焦躁。

而默克爾對(duì)巴以和談的觀點(diǎn)將會(huì)引導(dǎo)著整個(gè)歐洲看待中東問(wèn)題時(shí)的心態(tài)。

德國(guó)總理此次攜她的內(nèi)閣成員訪問(wèn)耶路撒冷是紀(jì)念差不多已經(jīng)建立50年的德以雙邊關(guān)系，德以雙邊關(guān)系的建立部分原因是為二戰(zhàn)大屠殺的幸存者們提供一個(gè)安全的港灣。
