This was an attempt to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. Only the countries that currently had them at the time of the signing were able to keep them, or that was the plan anyway.

Major player that didn't have Nuclear weapons at the time and that did not sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty

Representing the government, Chaim Ramon, a cabinet minister and the only other speaker, asked him, "Do you want us to announce to Iran and Iraq exactly what we have?" Even in other democratic countries, Mr. Ramon asserted, discussion about nuclear arms policy is limited and Israel should not have to "invite all our enemies to listen in."
