JERUSALEM, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Israel is "ready" to share its state-of-the-art nuclear technology with Arab countries that have signed a peace deal with it, Israeli Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) Director General Moshe Edri said Wednesday.
Edri made the rare remarks in an address to the 66th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) convening in Vienna, according to a statement issued by the IAEC.
Edri said Israel has been hopeful that the normalization deals signed in 2020 with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco will "mark a path forward for meaningful direct dialogue within our region, including in the nuclear fora."
Such a move will be made under the IAEA umbrella, the Israeli nuclear chief added.
Israel rarely comments on its nuclear capabilities. ■
