UNITED NATIONS (AP) — China, Iran and a multitude of Arab nations condemned an Israeli minister’s statement that a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip was an option in the Israel-Hamas war, calling it a threat to the world. It is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, and a former employee at its nuclear reactor served 18 years in Israeli prison for leaking details and pictures of Israel’s alleged nuclear arsenal program to a British newspaper in 1986. He urged Israel to stop “such rhetoric or posturing” and join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear weapon state. Ambassador Amir Iravani told the conference the nuclear threats directed toward Palestinians by high-ranking Israeli officials highlight Israel’s “pride” in having these weapons in its hands. “The secrecy surrounding Israel’s nuclear capabilities poses a significant threat to regional stability,” he said.

On June 14, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko announced that his country had taken delivery of the first of a collection of tactical nuclear weapons from Russia. Belarus has both a nuclear arsenal and a president who for decades has quietly played the role of Putin’s lap dog. And indeed, in a press conference Thursday in Minsk, he did claim to being in lockstep with Putin — adding that the nuclear weapons were for defensive purposes only. In the same press conference, Lukashenko nodded to the fact that those nuclear weapons were under Russia’s control. “In the early ’60s American officials worried that the Soviet Union would launch a less-than-all-out attack, reasoning that the US would not respond in a way that might trigger Armageddon,” he said.

Tratatul internaţional privind interzicerea armelor nucleare nu va funcţiona, deoarece nu are un mecanism de verificare, a declarat, marţi, secretarul general al NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, afirmând că pentru ţările aliate, acest tip de arme este un "factor de descurajare". Ştiu că sunt unii care privesc Tratatul internaţional privind interzicerea armelor nucleare ca fiind o soluţie alternativă, ce ar elimina toate armele nucleare. Tratatul privind interzicerea nu are un mecanism care să asigure scăderea echilibrată a numărului acestor arme şi niciun mecanism de verificare. Mai mult, nu a fost semnat de niciun stat ce deţine arme nucleare", a arătat el. Secretarul general al NATO a subliniat că, în ultimii 30 de ani, numărul de arme nucleare a fost diminuat cu 90%.
