Space War - Obama backs Israel on nuclear conference
AFP reports: "US President Barack Obama warned Tuesday that attempts to single out Israel over its undeclared nuclear program could scupper a Middle East regional nuclear conference planned for 2012 [...] The wording on the Middle East called for holding a conference in 2012 'to be attended by all states of the Middle East, leading to the establishment¨ of such a nuclear-weapon-free zone.' The NPT review conference called on Israel to join the treaty, which would oblige the Jewish state to do away with its nuclear weapons [...] Israel, which opposes creating a nuclear free zone until Middle East peace has been achieved, has never acknowledged that it has nuclear weapons."
