Mubarak urges UN to pass Israel weapons resolution

By The Associated Press

CAIRO - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak urged the United Nations Saturday to pass a resolution to ban Israel from holding weapons of mass destruction. He also accused Israel of lacking the political will to reach a peace settlement with the Palestinians and end the current fighting.

Opening a new session of parliament, Mubarak referred to the resolution that the UN Security Council passed on November 8 requiring Iraq to disarm or face "serious consequences."

"We are still demanding the application of the same measures to Israel," Mubarak told the People's Assembly, whose members responded with loud applause. Israel should "get rid of all its capabilities in the field of weapons of mass destruction," Mubarak said.

He added that a region devoid of such weapons would be "one of the elements of comprehensive and just peace in the Middle East." Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear bombs, although it has never formally acknowledged being a nuclear power.

Egypt and other Arab states have called for years for the world to force Israel to forsake nuclear weapons. In a resolution on Nov. 10, the Arab League urged the Security Council to demand that Israel abandon weapons of mass destruction. Mubarak said Israel would not enjoy peace under its current leadership.

"Despite several [peace] initiatives, plans and road maps, Israel does not have the political will to enter into serious negotiations to establish a sovereign Palestinian state and to withdrawal from Syrian and Lebanese territories," Mubarak said. "Therefore, Israel is not
going to achieve the security to which it aspires, and it will remain threatened to the core."

Syrian dailies slam US “biased” policy; claim Israeli occupation, weapons represent real threat to region
The Al Baath daily, in its main article, expressed wonder “if the world has won the battle following the deliberations of the United Nations Security Council, which resulted in the issuance of Resolution 1441 regarding Iraq, against the political neuroticism and the irrational stances pointing out to some American statements that followed the resolution”.

The Syrian paper stressed that Damascus played an important role in the desperate attempt by the UN Security Council to “tune the steps” of US policy to the “music of the world peace and security” since Washington is the "most concerned" with the region’s destiny.

In addition, the daily, cited by SANA, emphasized the need to turn the eyes over to the real danger that threatens peace and security, represented by the Israeli occupation of the Arab territories, and the accumulation of mass destruction weapons.

Meanwhile, on it part, Al Thawra daily, urged Arabs to challenge the biased US policy and the prevailing double standard and to expose such a policy on the international level.

The Syrian daily also demanded Arabs to act within the framework of the United Nations and urge it to disarm Israel from its weapons of mass destruction.

The daily indicated that if the United States was serious about the stability in the region it would have demanded a parallel disarmament of the Israeli weapons of mass destruction, alongside Iraq, and would turn the region into one free of such weapons.

It is clear, the daily added, that the US talk about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction is a pretext for implementing a plot aimed at partitioning Iraq and seizing its oil resources.

A third Syrian daily, Tishrin, stressed that the main headline of extremism is occupation and enmity towards the Arabs and this has been agreed upon by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Ben Eliezer, Saul Mofaz, Benjamin Netenyahu, Avigdor Liberman, and Nathan Sharnsky as well as other “racist Israelis”.

The daily highlighted that Israeli life would go from “bad to worse” as far as occupation still exists and there would be no security without the removal of occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
