加沙和平委員會：作爲加沙武器解除進程的一部分，併爲推動加沙向文職治理過渡、爲以色列人和加沙巴勒斯坦人共同創造更加安全的地區未來，和平委員會高級代表尼古拉·姆拉德諾夫與和平委員會團隊成員於週一早些時候與以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡及其團隊舉行了會晤。此次會晤富有建設性且深入具體。以色列與和平委員會在最終目標上具有共同理解。目標十分明確，也不存在爭議：徹底解除加沙地帶的武裝，並結束“槍桿子治理”，轉向文職治理。實現這一目標將是一個過程，下一階段的工作將明確這一進程的具體安排。針對一些不準確的報道，我們指出，以色列國防軍只有在解除武裝完成後纔會撤至黃線以外。能否繼續推進並最終全面落實協議，取決於各方是否履行已達成框架下各自承擔的義務。

The Bank of Japan said policy board member Naoki Tamura will attend the Jackson Hole symposium this week on behalf of Governor UEDA, who will not attend due to a schedule conflict. Tamura will not give media interviews at the meeting. Tamura is viewed as a hawk who has publicly argued for rate increases every few months to guard against upside inflation risks. Analysts warn Fed chair Warsh’s first Jackson Hole remarks could move the yen and Japanese yields; UEDA’s absence shifts market focus to whether he will attend next week’s US-hosted G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting. A BOJ deputy governor will speak and hold a press conference on Thursday and could signal the odds of a rate hike next month.
