US pledges nuclear cooperation with Israel

[ 08/07/2010 - 09:47 AM ]

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The US has conveyed to Israel a secret letter of guarantees by which Washington vows to cooperate with Tel Aviv in nuclear energy, the Israeli army radio said.

The broadcast noted that the cooperation in use of nuclear energy in "civil purposes" was made despite the fact that Israel had not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

It said that Washington pledged to sell Israel fissile material that could be used to produce electricity in addition to technological know-how and various equipments.

American president Barack Obama has refuted what was published about American pressure on Israel to sign the non-proliferation treaty, telling a press conference following Israeli premier's visit that the US would not ask Israel to do anything that might endanger its security.
