Nothing is ever said about Israel being an existential threat to contries in the Middle East.
Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday that "Israel is number one threat to Middle East" with its nuclear arms, the official IRNA news agency reported.
At a joint press conference with Iran's Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi in Tehran, ElBaradei brought Israel under spotlight and said that the Tel Aviv regime has refused to allow inspections into its nuclear installations for 30years, the report said.
"Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East given the nuclear arms it possesses," ElBaradei was quoted as saying.
Israel is widely assumed to have nuclear capabilities, although it refuses to confirm or deny the allegation.
"This (possession of nuclear arms) was the cause for some proper measures to gain access to its (Israel's) power plants ... and the U.S. president has done some positive measures for the inspections to happen," said ElBaradei.

if you trace un decisions in regard to israel over the last 50 yrs the vast majority are anti-israel.
this is just another(as expected).
the bigger question is what can we conclude about the uns evaluation of israel compared to the historical facts.
some match up most dont.
watch what happens the next time any issue on the world stage puts israel at odds with an arab or muslum nation.
it will be the same thing - 2 years ago
