US Rejects Nuclear Disarmament Document Over Israel Concerns

23.05.2015
The United States is rejecting a global document toward ridding the world of nuclear weapons. According to Fox News, the U.S. says Egypt and other states "cynically manipulated" the process, by trying to set a deadline for Israel and its neighbors to meet within months on a Middle East zone free of such weapons.
The final document of a landmark treaty review conference Friday would call on the U.N. secretary-general to convene the conference no later than March 2016, regardless of whether Israel and its neighbors agree on an agenda. Israel is not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has never publicly declared what is widely considered to be an extensive nuclear weapons program.
A conference might force Israel to acknowledge it.
Discussions on the draft document are continuing after a request from Iran.
