UN Nuclear Assembly Votes in Favour of Israel Nuclear Weapon
The resolution, which is non-binding, condemns Israel, calls on it to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and make its nuclear facilities subject to international supervision.
Arab states submitted a non-binding resolution on israel nuclear weapons for the first time during the IAEA 54th General Conference in 2010. The courageous step, which was impeded because of the cowed silence of the international community and the IAEA member states regarding the lack of movement in efforts to create a Middle East zone free of weapons of mass destruction, was strongly opposed by israel, USA, Canada, Britain, New Zealand, Australia and the EU, who all colluded to thwart consecutive draft resolutions in this regards introduced by Arab states.
During the past three days and since the opening session of the 58th IAEA General Conference on Sep, 22 2014, USA delegates engaged in a systematic campaign against the Arab States draft resolution. US delegates were seen wandering the conference room and systematically meeting with all country delegations, speaking to delegates representing small countries which rely on US and EU financial aid. It was clear that the US and israeli representatives to the IAEA “recommended” to these other countries to vote against the draft resolution introduced by the Arab states.
According Haaretz newspaper, for the last three months the Foreign Ministry and the Committee for Nuclear Energy made a global diplomatic effort to foil the Arab nations’ efforts. All of Israel’s diplomatic missions worldwide were conscripted for the task, and Israeli ambassadors raised the issue to the highest officials in their respective countries.
Mr. Netanyahu, the radical Avigdor Lieberman and the war criminal Moshe Ya’alon also joined the efforts and called up their counterparts around the globe and convince them to vote against the the Arab State draft resolution.
The thwarting of the draft resolution on israeli Nuclear Weapons clearly shows the double standards of the state members of the IAEA towards the major issue of the Middle East zone free of weapons of mass destruction, which threaten the security of the whole region.
The USA and Canada “justified” their rejection claiming that the draft resolution, if adopted, would be counterproductive.
