以色列第四任總理梅爾(Golda Meir)夫人,人稱「鐵娘子」(Iron Lady),以其行事冷靜果決、堅忍不拔,並具有靈活的外交手腕而聞名。她的政治生涯以成為以色列總工會(Histadrut)的代表起步,並先後出任了以色列外交部長及第四任總理。
梅爾夫人可謂是以色列建國與發展的參與者及見證人,其將一生全部身心皆投注於此。1938年梅爾夫人便代表巴勒斯坦猶太人參與了由美國總統羅斯福召集的會議,討論世界各國如何接納猶太難民的問題。二戰期間也是與英國托管政府談判的代表之一,致力於達成猶太復國。1948年以色列宣布獨立,更是由梅爾夫人與其他多位人士一起在獨立宣言上簽字。
而在梅爾夫人任以色列總理期間,曾發生兩件大事:分別是1972年慕尼黑奧運以及1973年的贖罪日戰爭。在1972年的慕尼黑奧運上,11名猶太運動員及官員慘遭巴勒斯坦游擊份子殺害,梅爾夫人因而宣布消滅巴勒斯坦恐怖份子,並簽署了對恐怖組織份子的必殺令。而1973年的贖罪日戰爭更是震撼國際,埃及與敘利亞兩國選在猶太人的贖罪日當天,對以色列發動軍事攻擊,使以色列受到重挫,幾近亡國。而後在梅爾夫人的領導下,以色列成功反敗為勝。即便梅爾夫人其中的部份決策遭到非議,然正是這兩件大事,讓其展現了沉著、果斷的決策領導力及外交手腕,並且奠定了以色列爾後近50年間的和平。
梅爾夫人一生以猶太復國為目標,是一位猶太民族主義者,同時她也希望與阿拉伯人和平共處。在她的政治生涯中,她盡全力以達成猶太復國,推動了以色列的成立及發展,並也盡量化解猶太人與阿拉伯人之間的敵對關係,維護以色列的和平。讓我們將時空切換到現在,面對近日以色列與加薩衝突,以色列又該如何解決?
本文摘要自對外關係協會資深顧問張良任大使(前中華民國駐以色列代表Taiwan in Israel)以其駐外多年的豐富經歷及對以色列的獨到見解,撰寫的〈梅爾夫人會怎麼面對這場與加薩的戰爭?〉一文。
