Despite not accepting that Iran has nuclear weapons, the Jewish state does not submit to inspections of the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), contrary to UN Security Council appeal
Despite Israel Not to accept that Iran has nuclear weapons, several sources throughout history indicated that the Jewish state has maintained a large secret nuclear program since the 1950s. Such a project would have developed at least 90 atomic warheads. This estimate is from the Federation of American Scientists and the Weaponry Control Association, both from the United States (USA). However, there are sources that point to an even larger arsenal. Israel never recognized or denied atomic bombs, but it is the only country in the Middle East not to sign the Treaty on Nuclear Weapons Non -Proliferation (TNP). Therefore, it does not submit to the inspections of the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA)linked to the UN, contrary to the appeal of the UN Security Council made in 1981.
The professor of history at the University of Brasilia (UnB) Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, in his book The Second Cold War, said that Israel would have started the construction of his nuclear plant in the city of Dimona, south of Jerusalem, “well before 1958”, through the Soreq Nuclear Research Center project, operated by Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC). The pressure exerted by the Western powers against the Iran’s nuclear program contrasts with the absence of collection in relation to the Israel nuclear program.
The Professor of International Relations Robson Valdez, from the Brazilian Institute of Teaching, Development and Research (IDP), told Agência Brasil that unconditional support to Israel reveals the hypocrisy of Western powers. “Israel has a nuclear program that manipulates, instrumentalizes, and develops in reverse of the AIEA. There is a skewed approach to international law. For enemies, all the rigor of international law and, for partners, such as Israel, notorious violator of international law, there is a contemporic rhetoric for their illegal actions,” said the expert.
First reactors
Israel’s early reactors were supplied by the United States (USA) under the “Atoms for Peace” program. According to Brazilian historian Manoel Bandeira, Israel began the construction of nuclear bombs without consulting Washington. The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency of the United States) only discovered the place of production three years later, “if you didn’t know it before.”
For the political scientist there, an expert in the history of Asia and the Islamic world, it is difficult to say to what extent the US was unaware of the Israeli Nuclear Weaponry Program. “The USA have been overlooked. We also have the problem, always from the co -optation of US security agencies by Israeli lobby. I believe the CIA and FBI [Departamento Federal de Investigação dos EUA] They did not warn the US President, as they did not warn President Kennedy of the actual situation of the invasion of Pig Bay in Cuba, ”said the geopolitical analyst.
Historian Moniz Bandeira, who died in 2017, wrote that Israel received assistance from the France atomic Energy Commission to build his nuclear program, “which gave him atomic materials and scientists to collaborate in the construction of reactors.”
Sources
Among the various sources affirming the existence of the Israeli Nuclear Secret Program, researcher Moniz Bandeira cites Cia Carl Duckets’ high official who, in 1968, said Israel “had three atomic bombs, made with 200 pounds of enriched uranium, smuggled from the US Jewish Zalman Shapiro”. Another source cited by the historian is the agent of the Mossad [serviço secreto israelense]Ari Ben-Menashe, who revealed that between 1968 and 1973, Israel made 13 atomic bombs, “each with a destructive power three times larger than those who razed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
In 2008, former US President Jimmy Carter revealed that Israel had an arsenal of around 150 nuclear warheads. Other sources estimate that Arsenal can reach 300 atomic pumps, according to Moniz Bandeira’s book. The Israeli nuclear bombs construction program was also revealed by former Israeli nuclear coach Mordechai Vas in an interview with the British newspaper Sunday Times in 1986. Because of this revelation, he was arrested for 18 years, including 11 years in solitary.
Vasi was convicted of betrayal and espionage. When he was released in 2004, he had his freedom of movement restricted. In an interview with BBC, he said he did not regret revealing his country’s nuclear weaponry program. “What I did was inform the world about what is happening in secret. I felt that this was not betrayal. It was about information, it was about saving Israel from a new holocaust,” he said.
UN Security Council
The fact that Israel does not submit its nuclear program to external control contradicts the UN Security Council of 1981. Shortly after Tel Aviv bombarding the Osirak reactor in Iraq, the UN’s top body approved Resolution 487, which is still in effect. The standard condemned Israel’s attack on Iraq, determined that the country would refrain from attacking nuclear reactors again and stressed the illegality of attacking plants with atomic materials, which Israel has now done against Iran.
In the same resolution, the UN Security Council called for Israel to “urgently place its nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the AIEA”, which was never attended to. In 2009, the IAEA approved resolution calling Israel to sign the TNP and make itself available to the inspection agency, but the country refused to accept that “it was sovereign law of any state to decide whether to access any treaty.”
The political scientist there Ramos stressed that the Israeli nuclear program is the only one in the world that does not undergo UN or AIEA inspections. “Even the American, British and French nuclear programs undergo some control. The Israeli does not go through. He is the only one in the world that lives in this limb, in this gray,” he added. Sought by the report, the Israeli Embassy in Brazil said it will not comment on the subject.
Territorial Expansion of Israel
The Israeli nuclear program was also useful for expanding the country’s territory over Palestinian lands. Created in 1948, Israel took control over all historical Palestine in 1967, when he expelled the troops of Jordan and Egypt of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In 1973, when troops from Egypt and Syria attacked Israel to recover the lands occupied by the 1967 war in the 1967 war, General Moshe Dayan, Minister of Defense, gave nuclear warning and ready 24 bombing B-52 with 13 atomic bombs he had.

“Its purpose, it seems, was not exactly to launch them, but induce the US to take a more decisive attitude towards the Soviet Union and to force it to contain Syria and Egypt,” said Professor Moniz Bandeira.
