51 out of 53 entities that appeared before the joint committee on legal and parliamentary affairs and defense and internal affairs (96.3%) opposed the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026. 22 NRM MPs, Hon Santa of UPC and Hon Bitek of FDC have voted to disregard the views of the people, adopt a new bill that has not been subjected to public scrutiny and carry on .. .. Very unfortunate #RejectSovereigntyBill

@kanyankoleh States don’t follow rules, they follow power. The NNP Treaty isn’t some neutral legal system, it’s a tool designed by great powers to lock in their dominance & prevent others from catching up.
Israel is protected as a strategic asset whereas Iran is seen as potential challenger.

Why can Isreal have nuclear weapons, when Iran can't?
The short answer is "Law", and the real answer is "Power". Of the more than 12000 or so nuclear warheads on earth, the majority are owned by the USA and Russia. But the legal architecture behind who gets to have them or not was fixed in the cold war.
So, the Cuban missile crisis terrified Washington and Moscow into realising that if they barely avoided a nuclear confrontation with each other, a world with 15 or 20 countries with these weapons would be an absolute nightmare. For that fact, they worked together on "The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968, the NPT.
This might sound boring, but it is really important because under this treaty, if you tested a nuclear weapon before the 1st of January 1967, you were recognised as a "Nuclear Weapon State". That meant five countries i.e., the USA, Russia, China, Britain and France.
All other parties to the treaty promised not to acquire nuclear weapons and in return, they were guaranteed access to civilian nuclear technology namely. And the countries with the weapons also made the commitment that they would eventually disarm.
That didn't happen obviously!!
But there were real wars here because not everyone signed the treaty. India, Pakistan and Isreal did not sign. India developed the bomb after war with China and China's nuclear test, Pakistan's test obviously felt that if India had one, they needed to have one too.
Israel adopted the Schrodinger approach, never confirming but never denying and widely believed to possess around 90 nuclear weapons.
North Korea did sign the NPT in the 1985, withdrew in 2003, and then tested a bomb in 2006. Iran though, did sign the NPT. This means it is legally bound not to build a nuclear weapon and crucially to keep its nuclear program under international inspection.
Now of course, I haven't totally lost my marbles. So, the reason that Isreal is treated differently from Iran is not just law. It is also strategy because Isreal's undeclared arsenal has been tolerated because Washington and others are judging the region to be more stable and in their interest with Isreal as a quiet ambiguous nuclear power. Whereas Iran is treated as a hostile actor, and an Iranian Bomb is feared to trigger cascade of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others wanting their own.
North Korea perfectly exposes the cold hard logic here because before a state gets a bomb, the world would try to stop you often violently. After a state develops a bomb, what can the world do for fear of catastrophic retaliation?

The Sovereignty Bill should be withdrawn & reintroduced. Not a novel ask, in 2023, AG @KiryowaKk himself moved to withdraw the Public Service Pension Fund Bill after it was substantially amended. Same principle applies now. Withdraw. Consult. Reintroduce @Parliament_Ug
