Arabs may not press Israel resolution at IAEA meeting
None
Arab states may decide against targeting Israel over its assumed nuclear arsenal at the U.N. atomic agency's annual conference so as not to imperil wider efforts for a nuclear weapons-free Middle East, diplomats say.
A senior diplomat said Arab countries would criticise Israel but were divided over whether to submit a resolution on the issue to next month's General Conference of the United Nations' 154-nation International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "The majority feels that we shouldn't submit it this year," an Arab source said, in comments likely to be welcomed by Western envoys who have been urging their Arab counterparts not to single out the Jewish state.(Reuters)
