Mid-East nuclear talks

A group of Middle-East nations, including Israel according to some reports, may be sitting down soon with the U.N.'s nuclear agency to discuss a nuclear weapon free Middle-East. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has called the report that Israel will attend incorrect, and I hope this is so.  I believe nothing good could come of this meeting for Israel. 

The United Nations is notoriously anti-Israeli.  Any kind of truces or conclusions reached by this group would almost certainly be to the detriment of Israel.  Take this excerpt from the article linked below for example. 

Arab countries and Iran are aware of the potential of using the 2012 U.N. conference as a platform to pressure Israel to fulfill their long-standing demands: joining the nonproliferation treaty, acknowledging that it has nuclear weapons and allowing IAEA inspectors to probe their atomic activities. 

This seems like a move by Arab countries to use "diplomacy" to damage Israel's nuclear program.  The Israeli nuclear weapon program is very important to Israel.  It is their greatest deterrent to an attack from surrounding Arab-Muslim nations. 


Let's pray for our leaders to take a stand for Israel, and their right to defend themselves if such a meeting does take place.
