Israel angry over being singled out in nuclear plan
The action plan stressed the

jerusalem — Israel on Satur- day sharply criticized an action plan on nuclear weapons agreed to by the United States and 188 other countries, rebuffing its most novel proposal — a confer- ence in 2012 to discuss ridding the Middle East of weapons of mass destruction.
“importance” of Israel joining the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but did not mention Iran’s ex- panding atomic program, the Is- raeli government noted. The agreement, reached a day
earlier, had put U.S. officials in an awkward position: Rejecting it would have spelled failure for a month-long conference on the NPT, which has curbed the spread of nuclear weapons for 40
years. But accepting it created a new source of tension between the allies, just days before a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. In a statement Saturday, the Is-
raeli government called the plan “deeply flawed,” adding that “it ignores the realities of the Middle East and the real threats facing the region and the entire world.” The plan “singles out Israel, the Middle East’s only true democ-
racy and the only country threat- ened with annihilation,” the statement said. “Yet the terrorist regime in Iran, which is racing to develop nuclear weapons and which openly threatens to wipe Israel off the map, is not even mentioned.” Netanyahu is scheduled to
meet with President Obama on Tuesday to discuss Iran, the peace process with the Palestinians and the NPT resolution.
The U.S. delegation at the NPT
review in New York had fought to excise all mentions of Israel in the final document. But on Thursday evening, as delegations prepared for a last round of talks, the con- ference president informed them that the latest draft of the text was a take-it-or-leave-it docu- ment, officials said. Final NPT documents require a consensus. Many diplomats had expected U.S. officials to withhold approval

of the final document because of the mention of Israel. But the U.S. government was apparently re- luctant to be viewed as the spoiler at a conference that focused on one of Obama’s priorities. National security adviser
James L. Jones said Friday that the U.S. government “deplores” the decision to single out Israel and would “not permit a confer- ence or actions that could jeop- ardize Israel’s national security.”
