Newly Declassified Docs Reveal How US Agreed to ’Israel’s’ Nuclear Program
Local Editor
The Obama administration declassified papers recently this week, after 45 years of top-secret status, documenting contacts between the Zionist entity and the US over American agreement to the existence of an "Israeli" nuclear program.
The declassified documents revealed how cabinet secretaries and senior advisers to the then US president Richard Nixon withdrew from a plan to block "Israeli" nuclearization ahead of a meeting with then "Israeli" Prime Minister Golda Meir at the White House in September 1969.
The files, that were made public by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel [ISCAP], not only show how American delegates agreed to "Israel's" refusal to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty, but also how they came to terms with allowing "Israel" to refuse an American inspection of the Dimona nuclear facility and a deal which would have seen the delivery of strategic ground-to-ground Jericho missiles to "Israel" in exchange for their signing of the treaty.
"Israeli" newspaper Haaretz reported that, "The documents outline how the American administration worked ahead of the meeting between President Richard Nixon and Prime Minister Golda Meir at the White House in September 1969, as officials came to terms with a three-part "Israeli" refusal - to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty; to agree to American inspection of the Dimona nuclear facility; and to condition delivery of fighter jets on "Israel's" agreement to give up nuclear weaponry in exchange for strategic ground-to-ground Jericho missiles."
Moreover, the released files reveal that a document written by senior officials in the Nixon administration in a working group led by National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger discusses the "Israeli" "NSSM 40" nuclear weapons program in which Nixon directed Kissinger to put together a panel of experts, headed by Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco, who would submit their intelligence reports on "Israel's" progress toward nuclear arms and to present policy alternatives, Haaretz said.
Then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Rodger Davies had concluded that, "We cannot force the "Israelis" to destroy design data and components, much less the technical knowledge in people's minds, nor the existing talent for rapid improvisation."
Two months before the Nixon-Meir meeting, Davies wrote that the lesser evil would be to agree for "Israel" to "retain its ‘technical option'" to produce nuclear weapons.
"If the "Israelis" show a disposition to meet us on the nuclear issue but are adamant on the Jericho missiles, we can drop back to a position of insisting on non-deployment of missiles and an undertaking by the "Israelis" to keep any further production secret," Davies said.
Today, "Israel" is the only entity in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons. It is one entity alongside 8 other nations that have nuclear weapons: the US, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
In 2008, former US President Jimmy Carter confirmed that "Israel" at least has 150 atomic weapons in its nuclear arsenal.
"The US has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons; the Soviet Union has about the same; Great Britain and France have several hundred, and "Israel" has 150 or more," Carter said at a press conference in Wales.
Furthermore, in 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a former "Israeli" nuclear technician who worked at Dimona Nuclear Power Plant from 1976 to 1985, revealed "Israel" possessed over 200 nuclear bombs.
Vanunu also revealed that "Israel" attained the ability to build thermonuclear bombs.
"Israel" has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT].
