Credit: Reuters/Herwig Prammer By Fredrik Dahl and Sylvia Westall VIENNA | Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:56am EDT VIENNA (Reuters) - Member states of the U.N. nuclear watchdog narrowly rejected an Arab-sponsored resolution on Friday calling on Israel to join a global anti-atomic weapons treaty, a diplomatic victory for the United States. Washington had urged countries to vote down the symbolically important although non-binding resolution, saying it could derail broader efforts to ban nuclear warheads in the Middle East and also damage fresh Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. "The winner here is the peace process, the winner here is the opportunity to move forward with a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East," Glyn Davies, the U.S. envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said after a tense debate that highlighted deep divisions between largely Western countries and developing nations. Israel is widely believed to hold the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal and is also the only country in the tinderbox region outside the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Arab states backed by Iran say this poses a threat to peace and stability. They want Israel to subject all its atomic facilities to IAEA monitoring. Israel says it would only join the pact if there is a comprehensive Middle East peace. Israel has never confirmed nor denied having atomic bombs, under a policy of ambiguity to deter its Arab and Islamic foes. Forty-six delegations voted in favor of the resolution and 51 against. Other delegations in the general assembly of the 151-member IAEA either abstained or were absent. It had approved a similar resolution expressing concern at "Israel's Nuclear Capabilities" in a close vote at last year's General Conference, as the annual IAEA gathering is known. "The vote result is an important victory for the moral stand in the face of extremism and hypocrisy," Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israel's Army Radio. AVOIDING "FATAL BLOW?" Several small countries, including some in Latin America such as Costa Rica and Panama, who were absent in 2009 voted against the measure this time. Like last year, Russia and China supported the text, showing big power differences on the issue. If it signed the NPT, Israel would have to renounce nuclear weaponry. Arab states say there cannot be genuine peace in the Middle East until Israel abandons nuclear weapons. "It is Israel that singles itself out by standing aloof from the consensus of all the other states in the region which have acceded to the NPT," a Sudanese diplomat told the assembly, speaking for the Arab group. "It stands alone in refusing to place its nuclear facilities under the agency safeguards." Israel and the United States regard Iran as the Middle East's main proliferation threat, accusing it of seeking to develop atomic weapons in secret. Tehran denies the charge. U.S. officials had warned that approval of the resolution would erase any chance of Israel attending an Egyptian-proposed conference in 2012 toward establishing a Middle East zone free of weapons of mass destruction. 1 2 Next World Comments See All Comments (8) | Post Comment Sep 24, 2010 8:01am EDT Although I am not a Jew, I cannot believe that Israel submits to the bullying of the American State Department when its’ homeland is so vulnerable. I also cannot understand why so many Congressman and Senators, who are Jewish, are so silent? hempstead1944 Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 8:20am EDT Neither the article nor the above comment, whose author doesn’t seem to have read the article very closely, is very enlightening. The State Department is backing Israel but that seems to go against its policy of pushing countries with nuclear bombs to join the nonproliferation treaty. Obviously, there is something more in this resolution, but it is impossible to tell from this breathless little report. judex Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 8:25am EDT By the way, the US is backing Israel here. Why do you call it bullying? The bigger question is this: what is the USA’s position on Israel nuclear capability. And how do we sell it to the Arabs? And is it -that Israel has the bomb, that Arabs are upset- even important? God, how I hate this kind of blurby information! judex Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 10:36am EDT The NPT is a voluntary treaty. It is not subject to the will of other countries, nor can it be. Every signatory signed that treaty, not because they were forced but because they wanted to. If Israel doesn’t want to, it doesn’t have to. And since it has never signed it, it is under no obligation to submit to its mandate. Its not like it had signed it and then withdrawn, or reneged on its promises. It made no promise in the first place. In a way, Israel hold nuclear weapons for the same reason the US and Russia and France and Britain hold them. For deterrence. And that makes Iran irate. Aleithia Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 10:37am EDT the US aproves of its sister nation having the aims to protect itself, bar none. wolf91101 Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 10:54am EDT Israel’s policy of not stating publicly of having nucleur weapons is doing what it is designed to do. Keep the nations that want to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East deeply concerned that if they do have the weapons, will they use them in retaliation for all out war with Iran ? Abington Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 11:25am EDT Claims that Israel is “the only democracy in the middle east” are spurious at best, (i recall that Iran had elections last year) and only designed as a smokescreen to divert attention from the blatant hypocrisy of the US support of the “principle” that SOME nuclear renegades are “more equal” than others Angstworld Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 11:40am EDT If by sister you mean usurper of US power, debaser of US morality, corrupter of US government and racist religious fanatics who see an entire population of indigenous Arabs as subhuman. If that is what you meant by sister country then Israel is our sister. How can a ‘Jewish’ state not be religiously intolerant, racist and undemocratic? Some are more equal than others. The article also seems Orwellian in that the US talks about regional peace by allowing one country to violate the ban – it just seems lunatic. And the thug Russian bouncer talking about hypocrisy makes the hypocrisy meter explode. No neo-nut has been able to sufficiently explain the contradiction and hypocrisy of a democratic ‘Jewish’ state. The very concept of which is antithetical the very core of America’s soul. Israeli pluralism extends only to different types of Jews. The fact that the most corrupt congress ever ( 2 billion and counting) supports this atrocious government says more about America’s impending doom than it does about Israel’s legitimacy. I think everyone who unequivocally supports Zionism should admit to themselves they are racist and let the healing begin. MHCO Report As Abusive Sep 24, 2010 11:46am EDT This is the non proliferation treaty and does call for the total rejection of nuclear weapons – if the state possesses them. It would show an act of good faith on the part of the Israeli’s to join it – otherwise they face the constant charge that they are hypocrites and liars for demanding adherence to a treaty they never bothered to sign themselves. The question at the last presidential debates was – would the US support Israel if it was attacked by Iran. The reverse of that question wasn’t asked. paintcan Report As Abusive See All Comments (8) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
