Nuclear Security Summit

A nuclear summit is a high-level meeting between leaders of nations, typically involving heads of state or government, to discuss nuclear proliferation, disarmament, and non-proliferation policies. These summits aim to address global nuclear security challenges, reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism, and promote cooperation on nuclear safety and safeguards. The term "nuclear summit" is translated to Hebrew as וועידת הגרעין (Va'adidat Ha'Grin). In French, it is known as sommet nucléaire, and in German, it is referred to as Atomgipfel. Key contextual information includes the historic Nuclear Security Summits initiated by U.S. President Barack Obama in 2010, which brought together world leaders to strengthen nuclear security measures and prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of terrorists. These summits have played a crucial role in fostering international dialogue and cooperation on nuclear issues, although they have also faced criticism for their limited outcomes and the lack of binding agreements.
