Netanyahu to ask Obama to block measures over Israel's nuclear program 30 May 2010 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will ask for clarifications about the U.S. position on the Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference when he meets with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday. Review Conference participants decided that the nuclear reactors in Dimona and Sorek should be brought under the international inspection regime. A senior Israeli official said Netanyahu will ask Obama for American guarantees to block any practical measures, including an international conference on the matter. [Hopefully, Obama will hold his ground, but there's as much chance of that as a cat with a long tail in a room filled with rocking chairs. --LRP]
