IAEA chief asks 151 countries to 'persuade' Israel to sign NPT
The head of the UN atomic watchdog is asking for international input on how to persuade Israel to join the Nonproliferation Treaty. The request is contained in a letter shared Wednesday with The Associated Press and is sure to add pressure on the Jewish state to fully disclose its unacknowledged nuclear arsenal.IAEA chief Yukiya Amano asks foreign ministers of the International Atomic Energy Agency's 151 member states to share views on how to persuade Israel to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The letter also asks for advice on how to persuade Israel to allow IAEA oversight of its nuclear facilities.
Is anyone paying attention to Iran anymore? ANYONE? Why is the IAEA spending more time on Israel than on Iran, North Korea and Pakistan combined? Surely it couldn't be that all that pressure on Israel would flunk the 3-D Test, could it?
