Following Libya’s announcement to get rid of its weapons of mass destruction, calls for Israel to do the same intensified this weekend. Agence France Press is reporting that Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Algeria and Iran have all called on Israel to scrap its nuclear arsenal. Although Israel has never confirmed or denied that it possesses weapons of mass destruction, it has been considered a nuclear power for 30 years. Egypt’s government newspaper Al-Ahram today called for an international conference aimed at ridding the Middle East of weapons of mass destruction, including Israel’s nuclear weapons.
