Why does Israel have to give up weapons if syria does?

According to current negotiations, it does not. The reason that some people make the argument that Israel should have to give up weapons is to create a chemical and nuclear weapons free Middle East. This has the slightly sinister motive of making Israel appear more vulnerable. The premise of Israel having to level with Syria is flawed since while Israel does have nuclear weapons, it has never threatened to use them nor has it actually used them. Conversely, Syria has both threatened to use and has used chemical weapons both in war and against civilian populations. Those who misuse such weapons should be punished whereas those who do not need not be bothered.
