Moshe Edri, head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission, on Wednesday said Jerusalem is willing to share its nuclear technology with countries in the Middle East that have joined the Abraham Accords.
"We are hopeful that the new spirit in our region, as demonstrated in the 'Abraham Accords,' will mark a path forward for meaningful direct dialogue within our region, including in the nuclear fora," he said in a speech at the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.
"Israel's state-of-the-art technology provides us with significant levels of knowledge and capabilities, which we are ready to share with others, of course, under the IAEA umbrella."
Edri also said the world cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran and that Israel would not tolerate Tehran obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"One country is the leading factor in the instability of the region," he said. "It is now clear that Iran conducted a military nuclear program, gaining technology and knowledge aimed to produce elements for a nuclear weapon device. These activities took place in many undeclared sites, using various nuclear materials.
"In this regard, the Iranian nuclear weapon program has been under the investigation of the agency for many years. Iran has continuously failed to provide credible explanations, or clarifications, regarding the nature of these past activities, and continues to deceive the agency and the international community concerning its clandestine nuclear activities."
Talks between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) restarted on Tuesday over a probe into nuclear material found at nuclear sites in the country.
"Dialogue has restarted with Iran on clarification of outstanding safeguards issues," tweeted Rafael Grossi, the director general of the global atomic watchdog late on Monday.
