Arab Nations Rule Out IAEA Bid Against Israel, Officials Say

Envoys said Arab nations appeared set to forgo any collective bid to pressure Israel over its presumed nuclear arms during a U.N. gathering this month in order to avoid harming an initiative to establish the Middle East as a WMD-free zone, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
Arab governments in 2009 and 2010 proposed measures at the International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference to target Israel over its atomic activities. Tel Aviv is widely believed to possess the only nuclear arms in the Middle East, though it has for decades maintained a policy of neither confirming nor denying its arsenal.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/arab-states-could-rule-out-iaea-bid-against-israel/
