Excerpt / Summary

Israel plans to remain ambiguous over its nuclear policy, with US backing, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said today.

"This policy of ambiguity constitutes one of the pillars of Israeli national security and the Americans consider it very important," Ayalon told army radio.

"There is no reason for the Americans to change their approach or for Israel to change its position," he said.

Excerpt / Summary

Israel, to this day, has never confirmed or denied its nuclear status and remains outside the NPT. Since Prime Minister Levi Eshkol pledged in the mid-1960s that "Israel will not be the first nation to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East," all his successors have adhered to this opaque declared policy, and this policy has become known as Israel's policy of "nuclear opacity" or ambiguity.
