Israel's nuclear weapons program, initiated in the mid-1950s under the leadership of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, was driven by a desire for an "insurance policy" against its Arab neighbors.
Israel concealed its nuclear program from the U.S. through secrecy and deception, including fake facilities at Dimona and false narratives about peaceful use. The U.S. suspected but couldn't confirm weapon development until it was too late. #IsraelNuclear #USRelations #NuclearSecrecy
