The State of Israel is a completely unique country in terms of its own nuclear status.. According to all the official statements of his authorities and by the tacit "agreement" of the leading world powers, The IDF does not have atomic weapons. And yet, the whole world knows, that the Israeli army has not just a certain number of usable warheads, but also a full-fledged nuclear triad, capable of striking the enemy from the ground, sea and air. How could it happen?
The answer to this question lies primarily in the understanding of the fact, that Israel was almost initially considered by Western countries as their own outpost in the Middle East. And its main purpose in this context was to resist the expansion of influence in this region of the Soviet Union (although it was the USSR at one time that actually opened the way for the creation of Israel), including the strengthening by our country of its military-strategic positions in it. In its turn, the states of the Arab world neighboring Israel not only did not hide their intentions regarding the destruction of the newly created entity, but also emphasized it in every possible way, calling it a "mistake", which should be "corrected" by "erasing from the geographical map".
In a series of armed conflicts between Tel Aviv and the Arab countries that did not stop for a long time, the West and the USSR each went their own way. Our country armed its Middle Eastern allies and, if necessary, personally intervened in hostilities, which they fought against the IDF. The NATO countries that supported Israel, along with the supply of conventional weapons, preferred to put a nuclear sword in his hands as an extreme deterrent.. Without doubt, France was well aware, Why does Tel Aviv need a nuclear reactor?, erected by their specialists in the desert near the city of Dimona.
Oaths in, that the nuclear facility is of an exclusively peaceful nature, which allegedly Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion brought personally to Charles de Gaulle, likely, pure fiction. There is reason to believe, that Paris not only helped the Israeli side in the creation of a reactor for weapons-grade plutonium and supplied the necessary materials, but also participated in the testing of Israeli nuclear weapons.
What about the USA?
Even more “strange” history happened to americans. The Israelis first lied to their eyes about, that a weaving factory is being built near Dimona, or a metallurgical plant. When the deception became no longer possible to hide, the reactor was again declared an object of "peaceful nuclear energy". Wherein, true, then US President John F. Kennedy, intending to conduct an inspection at this nuclear power plant in accordance with all the rules, was killed in Dallas. Among the many versions of his death, those, which suggest the participation of the Mossad in it (with the CIA), doesn't look the most ridiculous...
Other heads of the White House no longer tried to arrange any checks. It wasn't so much about fear for my life., how much is, that Washington's recognition of the fact that, that Israel is secretly and illegally pursuing a military nuclear program, would automatically cut the state off from massive US bailouts – in accordance with the Foreign Aid Act of 1961 of the year, explicitly prohibiting it in such cases. In the United States, a lot of official documents have long been declassified., fully confirming, that Americans are well aware that Israel has nuclear weapons, but at the same time it is completely unprofitable to recognize it.

Ultimately, the Israeli authorities take a comfortable position: The country has not signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, as well as the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, as well as international agreements on the control of nuclear exports. As a member of the IAEA, this state, stubbornly unwilling, despite a lot of documentary evidence, to recognize its nuclear status, thus formally does not bear any obligations, imposed on all countries, officially included in the "atomic club". At the same time, the leadership of the country and the IDF periodically make more than transparent hints that, that in the extreme case these "non-existent" weapons can be "unleashed on the heads of the enemies of Israel".
The benchmark is here, perhaps, you can count the words of Golda Meir: "We don't have nuclear weapons., but we will use it, if necessary ... "Today, it is beneficial for Israel to possess this weapon of mass destruction without the official existence of the corresponding status, that is, to have the ability to intimidate potential opponents, bearing no responsibility to the world community. The adoption of such "rules", certainly, is one of the clearest manifestations of the Western policy of "double standards". Given its continued continuation, such an abnormal situation can hardly be corrected..
