Qatar has called for intensified international efforts to bring all Israeli nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and for Israel to join the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) treaty.
Al Hammadi pointed out that all Middle Eastern countries, except Israel, are parties to the NPT and have effective safeguard agreements with the agency.
The Federation of American Scientists estimates that Israel has about 90 nuclear warheads in what the federation says is one of the world’s most secretive nuclear programmes.
