Israel REJECTS nuclear talks plan

Israel rejects Middle East nuclear talks plan

Israel says it will not take part in a conference aimed at achieving a nuclear-arms free Middle East, proposed at a UN meeting in New York.

Nearly 200 nations, signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), backed plans for the meeting in 2012.

In a document agreed at the talks, Israel was singled out for criticism.

Israel, which has not signed the NPT, dismissed the document as "deeply flawed" and "hypocritical".

"It ignores the realities of the Middle East and the real threats facing the region and the entire world," the Israeli government said in a statement quoted by the AFP news agency.

"Given the distorted nature of this resolution, Israel will not be able to take part in its implementation."

The statement was issued in Canada, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting.

Some 189 nations agreed to the 28-page document following a month-long conference on strengthening the NPT, the cornerstone of global disarmament efforts.

The document urged Israel to sign the NPT, but did not mention Iran, a nation widely suspected of having a nuclear-weapons programme.

Analysts say this was a diplomatic victory for Iran, which denies seeking a nuclear weapon.

The US was among the nations who agreed the document, but warned that the reference to Israel could jeopardise efforts to persuade the Israelis to attend the proposed talks.

The US says that Israel cannot give up its nukes as long as peace does not prevail in the Middle East. I say the Muslim states should use the same logic and acquire nukes as Israel did.

[Durran3]

definitely sad news.. if these developed countries were really serious about disarming all the nukes and completely ending their nuclear bomb programs they'd sign these treaties and be done with it.

I am all for nuclear nations to completely Disarm and let go of the nuclear bombs. We're not in the age of massive conventional warfare anymore although the human mind will not change.

it's true that Israel neighbors can't be trusted at all, but Israel already has military superior on all of it's neighbors, than why make nukes?

I've mentioned several times before - There is no such thing as morals in international politics.It's all about might and power.If you're super power you can invade other country kill 80,000 plus people (Iraq) and then claim it was for democracy and it was mistake there were no nukes and then if someone tries to blow a bomb in your country Time Square then you blame the home country of that guy even though he was american for years.So International Politics are full of hypocrisy.Thats why i never indulge into moral discussions.We should look whats best for our internest no from moral point of view.

Peace in the Middle East cannot prevail until there is balance of power

"Israel also questioned why India and Pakistan - declared nuclear states who have not signed the treaty - were not singled out for mention."
