Israel should prepare itself for a possible attack on the Jewish state with non-conventional weapons, Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Tuesday. "The fact that we are today facing Qassams and Katyushas should not make us forget the necessity to prepare for bigger threats in the future that could result in a war using non-conventional weapons," he told army radio.

He was referring to homemade rockets used against Israel by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and projectiles launched by Lebanon's Hezbollah during this summer's war with the Jewish state.

Israel, considered the sole if undeclared nuclear armed power in the Middle East, has followed with increasing concern arch-foe Iran's nuclear program following repeated threats by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to wipe the Jewish state off the map.

Middle East Pace Picks Up

Washington (UPI) Nov 28, 2006
Call it coincidence, but the Bush administration and Israel's prime minister appear to have launched into a simultaneous peace offensive aimed at settling the Middle East's two burning issues: the war in Iraq and the Palestinian question. President George W. Bush will visit Jordan this week for what is considered to be a crucial meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as sectarian violence in Iraq reaches new heights.
