Credit: Reuters/Baz Ratner JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has no plan to review its nuclear policies, a government official said on Friday, playing down efforts by world powers at a U.N. non-proliferation conference to promote a Middle East free of atomic arms. World Hoping to win Arab backing for sanctions against Iran, the United States and other permanent U.N. Security Council members on Wednesday called for ways to be found to implement a 1995 initiative that would guarantee nuclear disarmament in a region where Israel is widely assumed to have the only such weapons. The declaration followed campaigning by Egypt to focus attention, during this month's nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) conference, on non-signatory Israel, which has set peace with all its neighbors as a precondition for joining the pact. "There is nothing new here, and no reason for a change of direction on our part," a senior Israeli official told Reuters. Egypt, which heads a powerful bloc of non-aligned developing nations, has circulated a proposal to the NPT's 189 signatories calling for a conference by next year on ridding the Middle East of nuclear weapons, with all regional countries taking part. The United States and Russia, with the support of Britain, France and China, have been negotiating with Egypt to come up with an acceptable compromise proposal, Western diplomats say. U.S. Undersecretary of State Ellen Tauscher told an audience of delegates and reporters on Wednesday it was hard to imagine negotiating "any kind of free zone in the absence of a comprehensive peace plan that is running on a parallel track." NUCLEAR WEAPONRY Egypt was the first Arab state to make peace with Israel, in 1979, but few have followed suit. Iran, an NPT signatory whose uranium enrichment has stirred Western fears of an illicit bomb project -- despite Tehran's denials -- spurns the Jewish state. The Obama administration's outreach to Iran has prompted some analysts to predict the United States will reassess its 40-year-old "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward an Israeli arsenal that is believed to include some 200 atomic warheads -- a grievance and perceived threat among many Arabs and Muslims. But the Israeli official said the administration's attitude on this matter was so far "identical" to the line taken by its predecessors. Israel neither confirms nor denies having nuclear weapons under an "ambiguity" strategy billed as warding off enemies while avoiding public provocations that can trigger arms races. Those safeguarding the official reticence have frowned upon the very fact that Israel is being discussed at the NPT forum. "We don't really like this matter, but is there anything to fear, really? I don't think so," Israel Michaeli of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission said in a radio interview on Monday, as the month-long conference opened in New York. "Our complaint is that people make this comparison between Iran and Israel, when there is absolutely nothing to connect the two," he told Israel's Army Radio. "Israel did not join the pact, did not undertake its obligations. To a degree it paid a price for this, but it has certainly never cheated or defrauded anyone." The 1970 NPT expedites member-states' access to nuclear energy in exchange for their forswearing of nuclear weaponry. (Editing by Charles Dick) World Comments See All Comments (10) | Post Comment May 07, 2010 10:07am EDT Israel of course has always believed that it is the only nation in the Middle East that can be trusted to possess nuclear weapons. But if you look at the number of times Israel has invaded and rained destruction on Lebanon, the west Bank, and Gaza, it has absolutely no right to expect it alone should be trusted with nukes. Antonius76 Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 10:28am EDT The only threat that Israel hold for any country is that of being able to obliterate that country if it threatens to succeed in “wiping Israel off the face of the earth” as Iran’s leader has promised. If Israel did not have nuclear capability, it would already be a footnote to history as a nation. Berserker Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 10:41am EDT ALL the UN security council members that have a nuclear weapon pose no threat to any other country. As a christian American I dont worry that China is going to use nuclear weapons on any of its neighbors but Iran has called upon several times for the destruction of Israel. Hitler wanted to kill all the European Jews,Ahmajineadad wants to kill all the Israelis. If you don’t believe that you are as stupid as all the Europeans who though Hitler could be appeased in 1938. highnoon Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 10:43am EDT All things being equal Israel is a human creation by manipulating the weak just as Africa was a colony beause of their weaknesses militarily. Russia, China and other communist states helped the checks and balances of agreesion of this kind. Its sad they have developed cold feet towards the only colonialism left in the world Wakewake Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 10:44am EDT Nothing like a skewed argument ! Israel replied to incursions made on their country and people who have sworn to wipe them off the map ! Remember the Quran and what it says about destroying the “infidels” ! WE are also considered to be infidels. We and Israel need to possess nuclear weapons for self preservation !!! raccman1 Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 11:01am EDT So the Zionists say “There is nothing new here, and no reason for a change of direction on our part,”. It seems to work for them to have an umbrella to committee all sorts of atrocities such as the one reported by the UN in the “Goldstone” report. Then they have the audacity to say “”We don’t really like this matter, but is there anything to fear, really? I don’t think so,” Israel Michaeli of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission said”. If there is nothing to fear then why don’t the Zionists sign the NPT or why even have 200+ A-bombs in the first place?! It is very clear that they want the neighboring countries to fear them and not to fight the Zionists aggressions. The night is still young. EstherHaman Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 11:32am EDT Stay strong Israel, you are a light in a dark world. -The Christians fairmark Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 11:40am EDT Now is the time for the UNSC to pass a resolution calling urgently for a nuclear-weapons free Middle East and the decommissioning of Israel’s secret stockpile of WMD. By refusing to be a signatory to the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Israel has not had to declare its covert nuclear arms stockpile nor admit inspectors from the IAEA to its Dimona reactor, which US scientists believe has produced plutonium for between 200 and 500 warheads. If the higher estimate is correct then this would place Israel as the 3rd most powerful nuclear state in the world after the US and Russia, but the only one not accountable to the UNSC. Israel must be made accountable; its nuclear weapons program must be transparent and America should now cease to take part in this deception that is euphemistically termed ‘nuclear ambiguity’. The United States by colluding in this deception has placed the world at risk. The position needs to be remedied urgently. CD colindale Report As Abusive May 07, 2010 11:44am EDT I’m all for Iran having Nuclear Weapons. There’s nothing like assured mutual destruction to prevent their use. Right now Israel with the complicity of the U.S. thinks that everyone else should give up what they themselves won’t. Israel was a creation of the western (white colonial) powers in an area where they are the only non-Arabs/Muslims. All the people who run the country are either European or Russian Jews (white). Unless I’ve missed something I’ve yet to see any dark skinned (true Semitic) people welding power in the Israeli government. Without the support of the U.S. the country would cease to exist as a Zionist entity which in itself is not a bad thing. It’s also interesting that all of the Torah reading far-right Judea and Samaria don’t serve in the military but leave the dying to others. jimed Report As Abusive See All Comments (10) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
