US, EU Reject IAEA Resolution against Israeli Regime's Nuclear Program

Alwaght- The United States and all European Union countries have voted against the resolution a UN nuclear agency resolution calling for the monitoring of Israel’s nuclear activities and facilities.
On Thursday the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) General Conference voted 61-43 against the resolution put forward by Egypt and backed by Turkey, Syria, Iran, Libya, and Iraq, as well as Russia, China and South Africa. Israeli regime's long term allies such as the US, EU members, Australia, Japan South Korea and Canada voted against the motion calling for nuclear inspection. This is while 43 countries, including Iran, Russia and Turkey, voted in favor, and 33 states, including Brazil and India, abstained.
The resolution, titled “Israel’s nuclear capabilities,” was presented by the Egyptian envoy to the IAEA at the annual plenum of the UN nuclear watchdog and demanded that the Tel Aviv regime join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and open its nuclear facilities to UN inspectors. The resolution included a clause describing Israel’s nuclear arsenal as “a permanent threat to peace and security in the region.”
“All member states of the agency are called on to cooperate in order to remedy this situation resulting from the fact that Israel alone possesses nuclear capabilities which are undeclared and not subject to international control,” the text of the resolution read.
The resolution called for the international monitoring of the Israeli regime's nuclear reactor in Dimona which is believed to be developing fissile material for Israel’s nuclear arsenal that poses a permanent threat to peace and security in the West Asia region and beyond.
Reports say Tel Aviv and pro-Israel states worked endlessly behind the scenes to sway the votes in Israel’s favor on the subject of “Israel’s nuclear capabilities” ahead of the IAEA vote.
The Israeli regime has refused to ratify the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty – a notion which the Arab states have been pushing to change.
Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has slammed the Israeli regime as the main obstacle to the establishment of a nuke-free Middle East, urging the international community to pressure Tel Aviv to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Tel Aviv’s “prohibited nuclear activity has seriously threatened regional peace and security and endangers the non-proliferation regime,” said Reza Najafi in an address to the 59th session of the IAEA’s General Conference in the Austrian capital city of Vienna on Thursday.

Najafi also voiced concern and regret that “this non-party to the NPT which continues to run its illegal underground nuclear military program, supported by its allies, has not even declared its intention to accede to the Treaty and abandon its weapons of mass destruction program.”

The Iranian envoy further blamed "certain" permanent members of the United Nations Security Council for Tel Aviv’s “intransigent” nuclear policy.
The Syrian envoy prior to the vote said that the international community must demand Israel to “dismantle its entire nuclear arsenal”.
The Israeli regime is reported to over 200 nuclear warheads, including thermonuclear warheads in the megaton range.
