Barak: Israel Won't Be Pressured into Signing Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday: "There is no room to pressure Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has never threatened to annihilate other nations and peoples, while today Iran, and also Syria, Libya and Iraq in the past, all of whom signed this treaty, have systematically violated its stipulations while explicitly threatening Israel's existence." Israel has a policy of "nuclear ambiguity," refusing to confirm or deny possessing atomic weapons.
