U.S. Reassured Netanyahu Ahead of NPT Deal
(AFP) Israel was "promised that there would be no resolutions adopted at the UN that would hurt the vital interests of Israel," a senior Israeli official said Sunday. The conference statement calls on Israel to join the NPT and urges it to open its facilities to inspection, but makes no mention of Iran's controversial nuclear program. "Two weeks ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received unequivocal assurances that included significant upgrade of Israel's strategic and deterrent capabilities in a personal message conveyed by President Obama," the official said in a statement in Toronto, where Netanyahu was on a visit.
