Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday, thanking the U.S. for blocking a decision that would task the UN secretary general with convening an international conference on making the Middle East a nuclear weapons-free zone by March 2016.

The decision was to be made at the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference that closed Friday night in New York.

According to a senior Israeli official, Netanyahu told Kerry that the U.S. met the commitment it made to Israel in 2010 with regard to the nuclear issue.

Netanyahu told Kerry that he appreciates his and President Barack Obama's position as well as the efforts of the U.S. delegation to the review conference, which convened signatories to the Nonproliferation Treaty.
