P M Netanyahu Cancels Nuke Summit Visit in Washington

Ynetnews has reported that P M Netanyahu has cancelled his trip and will not be attending Obama’s Nuke Summit next week after learning that several muslim states will be seeking to exploit Israel and bring up Israel’s failure to sign the Non Proliferation Treaty. Figures. I kinda thought Obama’s Nuke Summit was a planned “disarm Israel summit” as I said in my previous writing. Good for the Prime Minister. I am glad he is not attending. If I were him, I would never set foot in the White House again until the man who now occupies it is out of office after the way he has treated the P M and his entourage on their last visit.

PM cancels trip after discovering that several Muslim states will be seeking to bring up Israel's failure to sign NPT during Washington summit; 'These states intend to exploit occasion to slam Israel,' senior source says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be heading to Washington next week for the nuclear summit organized by US President Barack Obama.

The PM made the decision Thursday after finding out that several Muslim states intend to bring up Israel's failure to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Earlier, the PM's Office issued an official statement announcing the trip.

"In the last 24 hours we received reports about the intention of various states that will be present at the Washington conference to go beyond the issue of preventing nuclear terror," a senior source in Jerusalem said. "These states intend to exploit the occasion in order to slam Israel. The prime minister expressed his displeasure over these intentions, and he will therefore not be traveling to the summit."
