US support emboldens Israel to avoid NPT: Pundit
Press TV has interviewed Richard Forer, author and former AIPAC member from Denver, and Maxine Dovere, a journalist and political commentator from New York, to discuss the Israeli regime’s refusal to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Forer says Tel Aviv will not allow inspections of its nuclear arsenal as long as the regime thinks it has the right not to sign the NPT.
Israel has covered up its military nuclear program because of the United States’ full-fledged support, said the analyst, adding that the regime regards itself an exception in the word.
Nobody knows the exact number of Israel’s atomic weapons, but it is estimated that the regime has 200 to 400 nuclear warheads, he says.
Forer maintains that Tel Aviv is afraid of the settlement of disputes over Iran’s nuclear program because “the US might come to some sense of sanity and realize that Israel is the key ingredient in a lot of turmoil that’s going on” in the region.
Dover, for her part, believes Israel’s nuclear weapons program is “purely defensive,” arguing that the Zionist entity has the right to avoid international nuclear inspections for “security” concerns.
