Obama agrees to cover up Israel's nukes: report

US President Barack Obama (L) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu


Israel has reportedly received an assurance by US President Barack Obama that it would not be pressured into accounting for its alleged nuclear arsenal or signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

In a meeting with, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu obtained President Obama's guarantee that the White House would continue a 4-decade-old secret deal to allow Israel keep a nuclear arsenal without opening it to international inspections, The Washington Times reported on Friday quoting officials familiar with the matter.

"The president gave Israel an NPT treaty get out of jail free card," said a Senate staffer speaking on the condition of anonymity. "What this means is that the president gave commitments that politically he had no choice but to give regarding Israel's nuclear program."

"However, it calls into question virtually every part of the president's nonproliferation agenda."

Israel, which has allegedly introduced nuclear weapons in the volatile Middle East, maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity and has so far refused to sign the NPT- a treaty which seeks to limit the spread of such weapons of mass destruction.

The tacit agreement prolonged the nuclear understanding reached between President Richard Nixon and Prime Minister Golda Meir in 1969.

In a reference to the May meeting with President Obama, the Israeli premier said in an interview with Israel's Channel 2 last week he had received "an itemized list of the strategic understandings that have existed for many years between Israel and the United States" regarding the nuclear arsenal.

"It was not for naught that I requested, and it was not for naught that I received [that document]," Netanyahu said.

Avner Cohen, author of the revelatory Israel and the Bomb, which has drawn upon thousands of documents and tens of interviews on the Israeli nuclear firepower, said the accord amounted to "the United States passively accepting Israel's nuclear weapons status as long as Israel does not unveil publicly its capability or test a weapon."

In 1958, Israel began building its suspected plutonium and uranium processing facility near Dimona in the Negev desert. The regime claims the facility - which was originally revealed as "textile factory" - is a "research reactor."

In early June, George Washington University's National Security Archives declassified a 1960 report by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) which had explained how Tel Aviv was to benefit from a nuclear arsenal.

"Possession of a nuclear weapon capability, or even the prospect of achieving it, would clearly give Israel a greater sense of security, self-confidence and assertiveness," the documents said.

US: "Pressure Iran but lick Israel's ass"

[Dumbat]

Articles like this show why Iran is so aggressive towards the west. As long as this keeps up, there can never be peace.

"Cover up" is a strong term to use, everyone knows israel has nuclear wepons, probibly arround 160 with the capability to produce more.

This is merly another example of how the president doesnt really change anything in forign relations, Sure he might say it a bit nice but the goals of previous presidents and current ones havent changed at all.

Iran would probibly be allowed nukes if it gave in to the usa.

[johnUK]

Change Has Come!

Well what do you think USA will spend its massive military budget on.

And the tax payers dont work for israel, thats like saying that the taxpayers worked for the taliban when USA funded them, its not smart to think that way.

Besides, israel does what the US says, not visa versa.

Yea I was wrong when I said they worked for them, that was a bit harsh(my appologies), I mean't that its their money that they work hard for thats paying for the funding of Israel. So in a sense they are helping out but not intentionally as its the goverment that chooses to spend their money that way. /

Its ok to say we fund israel and terrorism, we give money to the power structure in hopes that they provide safety and protection (militarily and economicly) but then something new happened, and it was ok to do what you want with OUR money under the guise of protecting forign interests.

I understood what you were saying but you just worded it differently and you were right.
