Israeli nuclear policy

Israel has always said that as long as the Arab countries do not produce nuclear weapons, the country will not produce this kind of weapon, and now it does not have nuclear weapons at all. At the same time, the regime kept the Arabs in a state of doubt that they felt that they had nuclear weapons and thus created a psychological deterrent. For example, on July 5, 1966, in Knesset, there was an argument between leftist representatives and the government about nuclear disarmament in the region and the refusal of the government to adopt a position on this issue, and the lack of explicit mention of the issue of producing nuclear weapons in the future. Shimon Peres told parliamentarians: "I see no reason to make Jamal Abdel Nasser safe and let him know what we do or do not. I know it well that Arabs are uncertain about our nuclear programs. And I know that this doubt is a deterrent factor, why do we reduce these doubts? And why do we make this issue clear? "After the 1973 war, and with the decline in Israel's confidence in the ability of the armed forces of these countries against the Arab states, the government of the country was pursuing a policy of deterrence through indecision of doubt about nuclear weapons among Arab countries. In the context of this policy, President of the country, Efraim Kathicer said in a conversation with several American, European and domestic journalists on December 2, 1974: "Israel has the ability to produce nuclear weapons, and if we needed it, we will implement it." Kathicer said about the issue that how they will determine possibility of producing nuclear weapon: "In the light of the changes that will take place in the politics of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and the Soviet Union in the future". The words are on the continuation of the same deterrence policy that Israel has been pursuing after the 1973 war. That's why, after Kathcier's sudden speech, suddenly commanders, politicians, soldiers and writers made remarks about the same issue at the same time. The Haaretz newspaper quoted some of Mordecai's words as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Institute of Technology in Haifa and wrote: "Over the next ten or fifteen years, nuclear weapons can predict widespread developments in the Middle East." He hoped that "this weapon would create a balance of horror in the region and reduce the risk of a war." On the same day, Haaretz referred to an article by the magazine government, rule and international relations published by Israeli Hebrew University. It says: "As it is stated, Israel's nuclear policy will be the choice between the creation of a nuclear arsenal in the next two years or to acquire a nuclear weapon without testing it. In the future, we will determine the choice of one of these two policies. "A little while later, Idiyut Ahronot's newspaper, published the speech of Moshe Dayan, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the 1956 War and Defense Secretary of the 1967 War in Tel Aviv, and it wrote:" Israel must be armed by nuclear weapons and it should produce a ground- to- ground missile. The newspaper wrote according to the person: "we are a small country, and now we can produce a nuclear weapon and the United States is no longer the world's police, and we have to protect ourselves". "The Ahronot Daily reported that Moshe Dayan was speaking to members of the Israeli Chamber of Commerce in Tel Aviv: "Israel has imported conventional weapons as far as possible, and now we have to acquire nuclear weapons so that the Arabs can understand that we are also capable of destroying them, and if conditions are created that would endanger the country's survival, we will have to improve the quality of our weapons, not the quantity. We must be equipped with a destructive weapon to act as a deterrent to the Arabs, we cannot reach the amount of sophisticated weapons that the Arabs have, and now we have to move on another path. "Israeli Prime Minister, Isaac Rubin, responded to Isaac Rafeel's question about words of Moshe Dayan on Israel's need to acquire nuclear weapons on March 14, 1976: "Israel is not a nuclear country, and it will not be the first country to bring such weapons to the Middle East,". It is a good opportunity to clearly and decisively explain that Israeli policies have not been changed on this issue. "In the context of criticism of Moshe Dayan's remarks about the need to obtain nuclear weapons," Moshe Carmel," Israeli author wrote in an article published by newspaper Yediot Ahrvnvt:" Such irresponsible statements may be causing problems. The world is afraid of widespread wars due to regional conflicts, and there is a possibility of a major hangover in the event of the entry of a nuclear weapons race into the Middle East. On the other hand, it is likely that such an announcement would provoke Arab countries to establish nuclear power plants as soon as possible in their country and try to achieve nuclear weapons through production or through others. "In a paper by Shlumo Ahronson, Published in an editorial, wrote: "Over the past years, we have become accustomed to hearing contradictory statements from the politicians of Israel that they do not have nuclear weapons, they have, they are hot, they are frozen". Also, the words of President Afriam Kathcier about Israel's nuclear capability became the first issue title in international newspaper, and after a while it was unnoted and maybe some Israeli politicians are happy, because they have been able to mock the world again and make doubts and questions. When Ehud Barak was the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Zionist Radio on September 29, 1992, that any Arab facilities capable of producing nuclear power would be destroyed, adding that "as we should make serious efforts to prevent countries from accessing international cooperation and intelligence services, We should not lose our martial mobility, it means we shall pursue peace our policy along with efforts to obtain peace to increase military power. In a press conference on December 22, 1995, Shimon Peres responded to a question about Israel's possible withdrawal of nuclear weapons: "if they give us peace we will give up on nuclear weapons, if peace is realized, and we can disarm nuclear weapons in the Middle East." Peres fled from answering the question of whether Israel has a nuclear weapon or not. "Israel will not be the first country to enter the nuclear weapons area," he replied. He explained in continue that "The secrecy of Israel's nuclear program has led to deterrence among Arab countries, and insisted that Israel would not start using nuclear weapons if the war broke out." On December 25, 1995, Peres talked to the second television channel and he explained: "The purpose of the peace that Israel will take away from its nuclear program is to bring about a comprehensive peace in the Middle East with the presence of Iran, Iraq and Libya, and at that time, Israel is not seeking to empty the Middle East from abnormal weapons". He added: "Give me peace, I will give up nuclear power, this is the entire story." As you can see, Peres in his remarks wants to maintain a deterrent strategy at the same time, and also to emphasize that Israel has no nuclear weapons and it will not be the first country to use it in the region. On the one hand, he talks about Israel's nuclear program and the ability to make nuclear weapons without practical action and to achieve this type of weapon, on the one hand, he seeks a comprehensive peace in the region, including Iran, Iraq and Libya, so he can be looking for nuclear disarmament in the Middle East.
