i think they would,

but the world you describe simply doesnt exist today
But only israel can have nukes in the region even if other countries don't feel 100% sure they won't need to use nukes to defend themselves? Especially a country surrounded by a superpower that has threatened them in the past with nuclear bunker busters.

What would be the point of giving up 99% of them?

What world am I describing?
