In the 1960s, Israel built its nuclear program in Dimona with secret foreign assistance. Officially, it was a “research reactor” — but behind the scenes, it was producing plutonium for nuclear weapons.

President Kennedy once demanded transparency, but after his death, pressure from Washington faded. By 1969, a secret understanding was reached between Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir and US President Richard Nixon:

Israel would never publicly admit it had nuclear weapons.

The United States would turn a blind eye.

This “nuclear ambiguity” has lasted for decades.

Even when whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu exposed Israel’s nuclear secrets in 1986, the world stayed silent.

Today, Israel is widely believed to possess dozens of nuclear warheads — yet it has never officially confirmed their existence. And the US continues to shield this secret on the g

lobal stage.
