华盛顿讯——据一位不愿具名的美国高级军事官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,美国国防部长皮特·黑格塞斯于周一秘密访问以色列,并会见了以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡。该官员因未获公开发言授权,要求匿名。
以色列境内一名参与此事的消息人士周二上午证实,内塔尼亚胡确实与黑格塞斯举行了会面。
此次未对外公布的访问,距离内塔尼亚胡所在政党参与大选仅一周多时间。而在此之前,特朗普总统曾暗示,美国将于11月美国中期选举后恢复对伊朗的军事行动。
黑格塞斯在X平台的一篇帖子中证实,他周一身处美国中央司令部责任区,并配了一张他向美军服役人员发表讲话的照片,他称这些人员“正在执行一项历史性任务”。他并未透露具体地点,也未提及以色列。
五角大楼拒绝就此次访问置评。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系以色列政府征求评论。
Axios率先报道了黑格塞斯的此次访问。
以色列和美国军队于2月底联合对伊朗发动了空袭,两国盟友在战争初期密切协作。2025年6月,在以色列与伊朗的大规模冲突期间,美国还空袭了三处伊朗核设施。
近几周来,伊朗和美国基本避免互相发动袭击,但特朗普曾公开表示,他仍在考虑是与伊朗领导层达成协议,还是“消灭”伊朗——他称可能会在11月中期选举后做出决定。
内塔尼亚胡是以色列历史上任职时间最长的总理,距离选举还有一周时间,他本人也面临政治不确定性。由其领导的右翼利库德集团执政联盟寻求继续执政,但面临多位中间派挑战者,其中包括由以色列前国防军参谋长加迪·艾森科特领导的政党。
内塔尼亚胡上周对以色列媒体表示,他不计划在10月27日大选前发动对伊朗的新一轮空袭,并称“这对我们来说不合时宜”。
特朗普周日对内塔尼亚胡表示支持,称他“是一位伟大的战斗总理,更是对抗伊朗伊斯兰共和国的和平伙伴”。
这位美国总统与内塔尼亚胡保持着密切关系,但有时也曾向以色列施压。今年春夏,特朗普政府敦促以色列减少对黎巴嫩的空袭行动——黎巴嫩是伊朗支持的激进组织真主党的所在地。
该政府还鼓励以色列镇压约旦河西岸的定居者暴力行为,并与加沙地带的哈马斯达成更长期的协议。
上个月,特朗普的特使贾里德·库什纳在基辅的一次会议上暗示,即将到来的以色列大选可能推迟了加沙问题的进展,他表示:“他们正处于一场疯狂的选举中,这让他们在某些方面显得有些不理智。”

Hegseth meets with Netanyahu in Israel ahead of elections and possible restart to Iran war

Washington — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quietly visited Israel on Monday and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a senior U.S. military official who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
A second source involved in the matter in Israel confirmed Tuesday morning that Netanyahu met Hegseth.
The unannounced visit came just over a week before Netanyahu’s party faces elections. It also comes after President Trump floated resuming military operations against Iran following next month’s U.S. midterm elections.
Hegseth confirmed in an X post that he was in U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility on Monday, sharing a photo of himself addressing American service members who he said were “on a historic mission.” He did not specify his location or mention Israel.
The Pentagon declined to comment on the visit. CBS News has reached out to the Israeli government for comment.
Axios was first to report Hegseth’s visit.
Israeli and U.S. forces jointly launched strikes against Iran in late February, and the two allies worked closely with each other early in the war. The U.S. also struck three Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025 during a broader conflict between Israel and Iran.
Iran and the U.S. have largely refrained from striking each other in recent weeks, but Mr. Trump has said openly that he is still weighing whether to cut a deal with Iran’s leadership or “annihilate” the country — a decision he says could come after the November midterm elections.
Netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history, faces his own political uncertainty a week from Tuesday. The coalition led by his right-wing Likud party is seeking to remain in power, but it faces several more centrist challengers, including one party run by former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot.
Netanyahu told Israeli media last week he is not planning to launch renewed strikes against Iran before the Oct. 27 elections, saying, “it is not convenient for us.”
Mr. Trump endorsed Netanyahu on Sunday, calling him “a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The U.S. president has maintained a close relationship with Netanyahu, though he has put pressure on Israel at times. Over the spring and summer, the Trump administration urged Israel to ease up on striking Lebanon, home to Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
The administration has also encouraged Israel to crack down on settler violence in the West Bank and cut a longer-term deal with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Last month, Trump envoy Jared Kushner suggested the upcoming Israeli elections may have delayed progress in Gaza, saying at a conference in Kyiv: “They just have a crazy election, and that makes them a little irrational in certain regards.”
