The United Nations has decided that Israel needs to get rid of its nuclear weapons — if indeed it has any. But the organization has nothing to say about Iran.
In a 152-5 vote on Friday, the UN’s General Assembly voted to have Israel dispose of its nuclear weapons and place any nuclear sites within its borders under the watchful eye of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The dissenting votes were from the United States, Canada, Israel, Micronesia, and Palau. Twenty-three nations and the European Union abstained.
Fox News reports that it has never been confirmed that Israel has any nuclear weapons, although the country is widely believed to possess them. Meanwhile, Iran has been steadily developing its nuclear program and is not far from achieving uranium that can be used in weapons.
The Jerusalem Post gave its article the sub-headline “Israel never admitted to possess nuclear weapons, but nevertheless, the UNGA resolution was aimed at Israel, not Iran.” The article stated, “The annual resolution submitted by Egypt to the UNGA in New York was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority and 19 countries including Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates.”
The resolution also recalled the fact that Israel has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and said that the country should:
…accede to the Treaty without further delay, not to develop, produce, test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons and to place all its unsafe guarded nuclear facilities under the full scope of Agency safeguards as an important confidence-building measure among all States of the region and as a step toward enhancing peace and security.
The paper also reports that the First Committee approved a resolution to create a so-called “nuclear-free zone” in the Middle East.

Because this is a recurring resolution, one may be tempted to think of it as nothing out of the ordinary, and it seems like that might be the case. The UN says, “No nukes in Israel.” Israel says it doesn’t have any. Iran is ignored; see you next year.
Israel: Okay, we’ll just launch them into IRAN. ..................
All Americans need to make sure they can hit 12”x12” blue targets within 300m.
Israel needs to tell the third worlders at the UN to go take a flying leap at a rolling donut.
RRRRRigggggghhhhhhtttttt!
Yeah sure, and as a measure of good faith they will get rid of all measures of self defense too, knowing that then, fi ally, the world will love them and stop attacking them
The U.N. wasn't interested in knowing if Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction either. They issued 16 resolutions that ordered him to allow international weapons inspectors to oversee the destruction of his weapons of mass destruction; not develop new weapons of mass destruction; destroy all of his ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 kilometers; stop support for terrorism and prevent terrorist organizations from operating within Iraq; help account for missing Kuwaitis and other individuals; return stolen Kuwaiti property and bear financial liability for damage from the Gulf War; and he was required to end his repression of the Iraqi people.
Saddam ignored every last one of them. F"*ck the U.N.
Why are we still a member of this organization?
I’m sure the Israelis are getting quite a chuckle out of that one.
Kick the damned UnitedNazis out of USA! It’s building here only serves to sneak in THOUSANDS of enemy spies and moles into USA
And how did that work out for Ukraine?
Because giving up nuclear weapons worked out well for Ukraine.
The UN needs to get rid of that large building in New York and move to some third world hellhole.
Hey, UN, FU!!!!
You can have peace when the good guys have weapons as or more powerful than the weapons of the bad guys ; weakness attracts predators.
Not only lo, but hell lo. Israel will never give up the Samson deterrent.
The UN can get Stuffed
