The United States, Russia, Britain, France and China voiced support on Wednesday for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapons-free zone, which would ultimately force Israel to scrap any atomic arms it has.
The move, in a joint statement, reflected U.S. concern to win Arab backing for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program by offering a concession over its ally Israel, but Washington says the zone cannot be actually established yet.
"We are committed to a full implementation of the 1995 NPT resolution on the Middle East and we support all ongoing efforts to this end," the five permanent U.N. Security Council members said in a statement issued at a conference taking stock of the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The 1995 resolution adopted by signatories of the landmark arms control treaty called for making the Middle East a zone without nuclear arms. The Jewish state has never confirmed or denied having nuclear arms.
"We are ready to consider all relevant proposals in the course of the (NPT) Review Conference in order to come to an agreed decision aimed at taking concrete steps in this direction," said the statement, which was obtained by Reuters.
U.S. support for the idea of creating such a zone in the future could be unwelcome to Israel, which has said it can only consider it once there is Middle East peace.

Freaking unbelievable. These people have no understanding of keeping a nation safe. As if the Islamics will HONESTLY disarm? Absolutely insane to think so.
There is NO WAY Israel should give up it’s ability to defend itself and the tools it has that act as deterrents.
I would think at this point he is alluding to that.. Sad Isn’t it.
Most American Jews aren’t anti-Israel—they’re anti-Zionist. That is what I have learned from speaking with the ones I have known personally and in business over the years. They do not want to see a hawkish Israel. So when they see the White House trashing Netanyahu, it’s fine with them. They don’t see it as a problem or a contradiction that they voted for Obama. Yes, it’s crazy and very frustrating how all this is rationalized in their minds.
He represents the Muslims because they are his religion.
Which is exactly who Obastard wants them disarmed.
Israel — Disarm?! Fat freakin’ chance.
Samson Option
The Samson Option is a term used to describe Israel’s alleged deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence, and possibly against other targets as well. Israel refuses to admit it has nuclear weapons or to describe how it would use them, an official policy of nuclear ambiguity, also known as "nuclear opacity." This has made it difficult for anyone outside the Israeli government to definitively describe its true nuclear policy, while still allowing Israel to influence the perceptions, strategies and actions of other governments.
With various Muslim entities in the Middle East pursuing the goal of eliminating the State of Israel and eliminating the Jews from their land -- the "Samson Option" only becomes relevant in the near-annihilation" of Israel, you see.
If Israel is not going to be annihilated, then the Muslims surrounding Israel have nothing to be concerned about. BUT, if the aim is to totally annihilate Israel -- then -- the "Samson Option" will scare the hell out of those Muslim countries... which it should... LOL ... that's the point!
So, don't annihilate Israel and there's no worries.
HOWEVER, that's not good enough -- because they still want to annihilated Israel -- therefore -- the first step is to take away the nuclear armaments of Israel so that they cannot exercise their Samson Option, when they are just two seconds from annihilation by the Muslim countries and terrorists ...
They will probably will because their self interest overpowers their home land.
This may be the most evil foreign policy initiative to emerge yet from a White House that has continually set new standards for foreign policy evils.
This is nothing less than the renunciation of the strategic alliance between the US and Israel.
On that day the trees and rocks will cry out, "Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him."
Wisdom from the Holy Quran...
Y I K E S ! ! !
America cutting its own throat. American Jews cheering on the sidelines.
I see that Obama insignia, it makes me ill, but when I see it I think about the theme song from the movie “The Sting” playing in the background.
I believe we are witnessing the biggest “sting” ever.
Dang! I guess great minds think alike
Israel has already entered into a seven year treaty. It is called the ENPI. It runs from Jan. 1, 2007 to Dec. 31, 2013. We are in the middle of it.
Blessings.
My country may turn its back on Israel, but I won’t, as a citizen, in word and deed I will support them. And I know I am not the only one.
It’s laughable.
The only people Liberals/Communists expect to be disarmed are ...
1) USA
2) Israel
NeoComs indeed.
Israel will not disarm. They’ll tell Obambi to stuff it. What the heck is Obama going to do about it? Attack Israel?
**********
We bless Israel with about 4 Billion dollars each year. Obama could claim he is canceling this gift in the name of “peace”.
BIG mistake to abandon the Jews.
