Israel is widely believed to have developed nuclear capabilities in the 1960s under a policy known as nuclear ambiguity, where it neither confirms nor denies its nuclear arsenal. Israel’s nuclear program began with assistance from France, with nuclear facilities established at Dimona, where it reportedly produced nuclear materials. While Israel’s policy remains unspoken on this issue, it’s believed to possess a nuclear deterrent, contributing to its security strategy. This approach, while often debated internationally, allows Israel to maintain a defensive posture, deterring potential large-scale attacks while avoiding overt declarations on nuclear capabilities.
