Israel claims it needs nuclear weapons as a deterrent against any threat to its existence. The Arab world in return feels that this is an imbalanced system; there is a sense of humiliation and impotence.

I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don't think they're irrational to the point that they're ready to annihilate their own country.

What I see in the Arab world, in Egypt, everywhere is increasing radicalization.

Our nuclear weapons are meant purely as a deterrent against nuclear adventure by an adversary.

We are categorically against proliferation of nuclear weapons.

I really believe the nexus of terrorism and nuclear weapons is the world's most ominous threat.
