West Germany secretly helped and funded Israel with its development of nuclear weapons in the 1960s, a report says.
The government of former German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
clandestinely channeled hundreds of millions of dollars into Israel’s
nuclear program, said a report published in the German daily Die Welt on
Tuesday.
According to the report, the informal deal was made when former
Israeli President Shimon Peres was in charge of the regime’s nuclear
weapons project.
On May 14, 1960, Adenauer met with the then-Israeli prime minister,
David Ben-Gurion, in New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel, where it was
agreed that a total of 500 million dollars be given to Israel under the
guise of a 10-year loan for the development of the Dimona nuclear
facility in the Negev desert.
The US recently released documentation from its 1987 assessment of
Israel’s nuclear weapons capabilities, following a Freedom of
Information Act request.
The declassified documents paralleled Israel’s nuclear research
laboratories to US nuclear facilities known to carry out weapons
research.
The Soreq and Dimona nuclear facilities “are the equivalent of our
Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge National Laboratories,” it
read.
The Israeli regime, widely believed to possess between 200 to 400
nuclear warheads in its arsenals, refuses to either allow inspections of
its nuclear facilities or join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
