Meanwhile Bashar Jaafari, Syria’s Ambassador to the United Nations, urged the international community to focus not on Iran’s nuclear program but Israel’s.

• Bashar Jaafari: “What I know is that Israel, on a piece of land not exceeding 20,000 square kilometers, has eight nuclear centers capable of fabricating plutonium, uranium, everything necessary to fabricate nuclear bombs and everybody knows that Israel has at least 300 nuclear bombs. We should tackle what is priority first which is how to obligate Israel to join the NPT and how to put the Israeli nuclear facilities under international control, and how to stop the Israeli terrorist nuclear act in the area.”
