Jordan king: Israel must disarm nukes
Abdullah tells Spanish paper El Pais Jordan interested in nuclear-free Middle East, says Israel must disarm its nuclear weapons. If peace is achieved, Israel will not need such arms, King states Dudi Cohen
Jordanian King Abdullah said his country is interested in a nuclear-free Middle East and urged the international community to pressure Israel to dismantle its nuclear arsenal.
"If the world is demanding Iran doesn't develop nuclear weapons it should also demand that countries which possess nuclear weapons disarm," Abdullah said in an interview to Spanish newspaper El Pais. "For peace to be achieved in the region, Israel has to disarm its nuclear weapons."
"If there is peace," Abdullah added, "Israel will not need nuclear weapons. If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved, the Arab-Israeli conflict will also be resolved." The king also stated that Jordan wishes to see the region free from nuclear arms, and that "many states agree on that."
In February, the United States agreed to Egypt's demand to introduce a clause into the U.N.'s decision on nuclear energy stating that the Middle East should be a "nuclear weapons-free region," a decision which completely contradicts Israel's stance on the issue.
Egypt and other Arab states slammed the criticism directed at Iran over its nuclear program, charging that the world was at the same time turning a blind eye to Israel's nuclear project.
Israeli officials were however unworried about the February decision, and said at the time that "this will have no real impact on Israel, and in any case this is not the first time such a reference appears. The same thing happened when Libya decided to sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty."
oh, sure. and if the police throw away their guns, the criminals won't do crimes.
Israel does not have a policy calling for the destruction of it's neighbors.
Peace through superior firepower.
Israel should disarm only if it becomes a member of NATO.
What nukes, you little pipsqueak?
If....if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass every time he jumped.

Sadly Israels nukes are probably the only reason Israel still exists. As soon as they disarmed they would be bombed into oblivion by their neighbors.
No! On 60 minutes.

Or Friday Night Live in Jerusalem at the Temple?
Considering the attitudes of the Palestinians and their past and present leadership, the only way the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be resolved to the Palestinians' satisfaction is the destruction of Israel. That will only happen after Israel has run out of nukes and the region has many radioactive craters.
Only in the mind of Pink Floyd;-)
Israel should disarm by firing all of its weapons in to its hostile neighbor's territory.
There, nuclear free, terrorist free.
