The UN General Assembly has
overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on Israel to immediately
open its nuclear program for inspection.
The resolution, approved Monday
by a vote of 174 to 6 with 6 abstentions, also demands that Israel join
the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty “without further delay,” and back a
recently canceled conference to ban nuclear weapons from the Middle
East.
Major Arab nations and Iran had planned to attend the mid-December
conference in Helsinki, Finland, but the US announced on November 23
that the summit was canceled, the AP said.
Tehran and several Arab
nations claimed that the event was shelved because Israel refused to
attend.
