According to the International Atomic Energy Agency report the Israel was invited by the head of U.N nuclear watchdog to consider to join a global anti – nuclear arms pact and to place all its atomic facilities under the agency’s inspection.

In his visit to Israel, last month, the Director General Yukiya Amano met with the Israeli leaders and discussed about the Jewish possibility to accede to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.  It is a wide and general belief that as the Israeli power has maintained them away from this program, they have been making their own secrecy program, according to which they may have yielded the Middle East’s atomic arsenal.

As they cannot possibly get to a conclusion so fast, this issue is about to be discussed as well later on this month in Vienna at the IAEA board and general assembly meetings.

According to Amano’s last visit to Israel his worries were confirmed and the Israel nuclear capacities are rather big. Therefore, it is important that Israel would take into consideration the signing of the NPT, “invited Israel to consider to accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and to place all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive IAEA safeguards”.

At the moment the thing that stands between them and the signing of this treaty is the Iran and its threat and the Middle East overall condition. They see no desire from the part of Iran to recognize peace and the Jewish state, so from this point of view the expectancies to signing this contract, are not so big.

They are most certain that Iran is developing new nuclear weapons and this is why they want to stay focused and have the proper means to being protected.

As an answer to this allegations the Iran’s top military official said that his country would at any hour and time of the day be ready to destroy all the nuclear facilities that the Israel has, if Israel did anything at all to hit its nuclear activities and to put an end to them. “Our developed weapons can hit any part of the Zionist regime (Israel) … We hope not to be forced to attack their nuclear facility,” Iran’s armed forces chief of staff Hassan Firouzabadi told the semi-official Mehr news agency.

Some of the Western powers are not as sure as they should be about this decision of Israel signing the TPF as if they do, this will jeopardize their entire plan to put a ban on the weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East and as well it would make impossible this discussion to be held at a conference in 2012 and to be as well taken into consideration.

For the moment, the two parties are believed to have agreed to a series of direct talks until they come to an agreement. The aim of President Barak Obama is to put a stop to the World’s most intractable disputes in a time set of 12 months. Then, they will have created an independent Palestinian state that will co-exist with the Jewish state.
