Rouhani chides Israel for not signing nuke treaty

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Heading into a historic meeting on Tehran’s disputed nuclear activities, Iran’s new president called on Israel today to join an international treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons, chiding the Jewish state for being the only Mideast nation that has failed to do so. President Hassan Rouhani addressed a United Nations forum on nuclear disarmament, speaking as chair of an organization of mostly developing countries that has long demanded that Israel sign the landmark 1979 Non-Proliferation Treaty.
