UN tells Israel to let in nuclear inspectors
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 5, 2012 12:33
The UN general assembly has overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on Israel to open its nuclear programme for inspection.
Israel refuses to confirm or deny possessing nuclear bombs though it is widely believed to have them. It has refused to join the non-proliferation treaty along with three nuclear weapon states: India, Pakistan and North Korea.
Resolutions adopted by the 193-member general assembly are not legally binding but they do reflect world opinion and carry moral and political weight. And the resolution adds to pressure on Israel as it facescriticism over plans to increase settlement in the West Bank, a move seen as retaliation for the assembly recognising Palestinian statehood.
