Diplomats at a 145-nation conference said that a compromise is near on a resolution criticizing Israel's nuclear activities.
At issue is an Arab draft resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency conference expressing concern about Israel's nuclear capabilities. Although the Jewish state has never confirmed it has nuclear weapons, it is widely believed to possess them.
With the conference split on the draft resolution, its introduction would likely force a vote. That would heighten tensions between developed nations backing Israel and developing countries supporting the Muslim countries.
On Wednesday, two participants in the discussion told the AP that the sponsors of the resolution now are willing not to push for its adoption if it can be debated and if the meeting's president then summarizes what was said.
