Israel has always perceived itself to be in a security dilemma which emanates from its historical threat perceptions. Consequently Israeli nuclear programme has generally found a support in Western capitals and media. After the Iran nuclear deal, Israel’s regional dominance faces new challenges. Israel has mostly enjoyed unprecedented covert support from its European allies and the US over its nuclear programme. Evaluation of Israeli nuclear policy and doctrine reveals a critical role of numerous western states in making Israel an undeclared and an unparalleled nuclear power in the Middle East. Israel heavily relies on its nuclear weapons capability to ensure its security and regional hegemony but the equation is likely to change after the Iran nuclear deal. Consequently Israeli dominance can be challenged by Iran due to its rising stature while remaining a nuclear weapon threshold state in post-nuclear deal era. However Iran enjoyed extremely cordial relationship with Israel before the 1979 Iranian revolution and if the deal remains intact, Iran and Israel may look for areas of cooperation. Nevertheless if the JCPOA fails, Israel may strike Iranian nuclear installations with the US assistance.

On the eve of the June 1967 war in the Middle East, a small group of men in the Israeli elite considered a doomsday scenario. They all supported Israel having an overt nuclear strategy, but the dovish prime minister, Levi Eshkol, had resisted. Now, with war looming, they felt that their hour had come. Behind the scenes, these bureaucrats, scientists and officers prepared the ground for using Israel’s ultimate weapon: the nuclear bomb.

This dissertation is a political history of the origins and early evolution of the U.S. acquiescence in Israel’s nuclear ambiguity. Its thesis is that, contrary to the interpretation of much of the academic historiography, senior decision-makers within the Eisenhower administration, including the President himself, were confronted with detailed evidence of Israel’s covert nuclear development project as early as spring 1958 but, for a variety of reasons which have not previously been examined in detail, chose not to reveal evidence of its existence, even within the wider U.S. intelligence community, for at least two years. Only when the Eisenhower administration became aware, in December 1960, that President de Gaulle of France was pressuring the Israeli Government to make its own announcement, did U.S. intelligence agencies leak details of Israel’s nuclear project to the press, and only then to distance the U.S. government from international perceptions of complicity in the project.
Israel’s nuclear ambiguity is not, nor could it be, a unilateral policy; it has required a bargain with the United States. This study analyses how and why America’s part in that bargain came about and what this means for the treatment in modern scholarship both of American support for Israel’s opaque nuclear posture and of foreign policymaking in the Eisenhower White House.
