Lynn Boylan (The Left), Kathleen Funchion (The Left)

In recent public statements, the President of the Commission has repeatedly invoked Israel’s ‘right to self-defence’ and the need for Iran to not acquire a nuclear weapon. No mention has been made of the fact that Israel is itself a nuclear power and is one of only five countries in the world not to have ratified the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has also not accepted International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards on its nuclear activity.

In her discussions with the Israeli Government, did the President of the Commission:

• 1.call on Israel to ratify the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?
• 2.call on the Israeli Government to accept IAEA safeguards on its nuclear activities?
• 3.demand a halt to nuclear weapons production and stockpiling by Israel?
