KUWAIT CITY - The chief of the organization grouping Arab Gulf countries urged the United States and the international community on Tuesday to press for sanctions on Israel for its nuclear program.

Abdul Rahman Al Attiyah, secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, said, “The United States should not apply double standards since it calls for sanctions on countries that have nuclear programs that we have not ruled out are framework of nuclear weapons.”

Al-Attiyah’s comments followed what appeared to be an admission Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of his country’s nuclear capabilities.

The U.S. should “seek the implementation of international resolutions, international laws and Chapter 7,” Al Attiyah added, referring to the section of the United Nation’s charter which authorizes punishments ranging from breaking diplomatic ties and imposing economic sanctions to naval blockades and military actions imposing sanctions.

He said Olmert’s remarks “spelled destruction for the area and humanity.”
