From the Guardian:

UN tells Israel to let in nuclear inspectors

The UN general assembly has overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on Israel to open its nuclear programme for inspection.

The resolution, approved by a vote of 174 to six with six abstentions, calls on Israel to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) "without further delay" and open its nuclear facilities to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Those voting against were Israel, the US, Canada, Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.

 Note: a total of 190 countries have joined the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

What are the Israelis waiting for?  Why do the Israelis want inspections in Iran but refuse inspections in in their own nuclear facilities?  It has been estimated that Israel possesses from 75 to as many as 400 nuclear weapons, which are reported to include thermonuclear weapons in the megaton range
