Israel has not signed the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity toward its nuclear capabilities.

It is no use lamenting the real danger of nuclear proliferation, while in practice standing idle as the Non Proliferation Treaty falls apart.

But there is a significant difference the original five have signed the NPT, and have stopped producing fissile material for weapons.

That resolution improves prospects for expanding the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty next May, and offers hope for bringing the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty into force.
