IAEA to Discuss Israel’s Secret Nuclear Weapons Arsenal
-------------------------------------------------------



The International Atomic Energy Agency has tentatively announced plans
to discuss Israel’s nuclear weapons program for the first time ever.
Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons, but
the country has never officially acknowledged its program. Analysts say
the IAEA meeting could put Israel into a difficult position. Israel has
been pushing the international community to take stern action to prevent
Iran from getting atomic weapons, but at the same time it has brushed
off calls to come clean about its own nuclear capabilities.
