     SUBJECT: ISRAELI DEPUTY FM FLAGS TOP CONCERN QME AND
     MIDDLE EAST NUCLEAR FREE ZONE

     Classified By: Political M/C George Glass for reasons 1.4 (b/d)

     ¶1. (S) Summary.  During a February 6 meeting on the margins
     of the Munich Security Conference, Israeli Deputy FM Ayalon
     told U/S Tauscher that his country's top security concerns
     were the Qualitative Military Edge (QME) and proposals for a
     Middle East Nuclear Free Zone.  Ayalon also said that his
     government would provide a response to a USG nonpaper on
     elements for dealing with Egypt and Middle East issues at the
     upcoming NPT Review Conference.  Tauscher emphasized the need
     to engage with Egypt, but promised that the U.S. would not
     put Israel on the spot in the course of its bilateral
     discussions with Cairo.  Tauscher also suggested that the
     P3 Israel first agree on the scope of an agreement and then,
     perhaps, engage directly with Egyptian President Mubarak.
     End Summary.

     --------------------------------------------
     NPT Revcon and Middle East Nuclear Free Zone
     --------------------------------------------

     ¶2. (S) Tauscher expressed concern about the prospects for a
     successful 2010 NPT Review Conference in light of the row
     over Iran's nuclear program and Egypt's controversial
     proposals on Middle East nuclear issues.  In particular,
     Tauscher noted that Egypt had repeatedly disrupted prior
     RevCons over this issue without being made to pay a price.
     This year, she said, the USG wanted to be proactive and has
     begun engaging Egypt early in order to find a way forward.
     However, Tauscher emphasized that the U.S. would consult with
     Tel Aviv and not put Israel in a difficult position during
     the course of bilateral talks with Cairo.  The goal, she
     said, would be to convince Egypt to abandon its normal
     approach to these issues and engage in a more productive
     dialogue on issues of concern in the Middle East and support
     U.S. objectives.

     ¶3. (S) Ayalon lamented continuing recalcitrance by Egyptian
     FM Aboul-Gheit on this issue and asked whether the U.S. had
     taken up this discussion directly with President Mubarak.
     Tauscher underscored that the U.S. had not yet engaged
     actively with Mubarak in order to first come to agreement
     with the P3 (U.S., UK, France) and Israel.  Drilling down on
     tactics, Tauscher stressed that the U.S. did not intend to
     offer Egypt a compromise solution all at once but, instead,
     would offer different components contained in the elements
     papers during the course of negotiations.  She also
     emphasized the need to reach agreement among the P3 Israel by
     the end of March -- at the latest.  April, Tauscher stressed,
     would be too late to successfully engage with Egypt before
     the NPT Revcon in May.  As a result, the USG hoped for
     Israeli comments to its proposed negotiating strategy soon.
     Ayalon thanked U/S Tauscher for the clarification on the U.S.
     approach and promised to provide answers on the U.S. elements
     paper.  He noted that Tel Aviv had been concerned that the
     U.S. would provide the whole paper to Egyptian officials, who
     could have pocketed those suggestions as an opening position.

     ---------------
     Missile Defense
     ---------------

     ¶4. (S) Ayalon asked for an update on U.S. missle defense
     efforts as well as advances in MD in the Gulf states.
     Tauscher noted the recent agreement by Romania to host U.S.
     SM-3s as part of the Phased, Adaptive Approach and said the
     USG was working on a location for radar.  Regarding MD in the
     Gulf states, Tauscher noted that UAE was acquiring THAADs,
     and that Kuwaiti, Bahraini, and Qatari had interest in
     Patriot missiles.  Ayalon noted that Israel was working on
     its MD technology as well.

     --------------------------------------
     Russia Post START and Nuclear Treaties
     --------------------------------------

     ¶5. (S) In response to questions about progress on concluding
     a new START agreement, Tauscher said the U.S. and Russia were
     about "95 percent" of the way there.  Specifically, she
     noted, the technical annexes were cumbersome and were taking
     longer than expected.  Tauscher also conveyed her expectation

     BERLIN 00000193  002 OF 002

     that post-START would likely be the only defense treaty
     ratified by the U.S. in 2010.  The CTBT, she said would
     likely meet with lukewarm support in Congress this year.
     Meanwhile, Pakistan continued to block the start of FMCT
     negotiations in the Conference on Disarmament.

     ¶6. (U) This cable was cleared with U/S Tauscher.
