Israel has never admitted possesing nuclear weapons. Quoting Joe Cirincione (the co-author of the March 2005 Carnegie report, "Universal Compliance: A Strategy for Nuclear Security,") The Globalist reported; "In fact, the world does well to remember that most Middle East weapons programs began as a response to Israel's development of nuclear weapons. That program started in the early 1950s â?? and had secretly yielded a bomb by 1968. "Israel is now believed to have between 100 and 200 nuclear weapons, a stockpile of chemical weapons and a biological weapons program that may have developed several weapons agents".

the fact that no one really knows is the whole point of the deterrence strategy. Enemies will be much more hesitant to pick a fight when they don't know exactly what they are getting into. The fact that Israel has not threatened anyone is a sign that Israel has no real intention of using them even if the had, unless as a last resort.

Yes they do, and hopefully they won't have to use them on Iran because their president is a maniac.

Yes it does and it's listed amongst the nuclear weapon owning states of the world (unofficially). For politically correct reasons the state refuses it has any but I know that Israel has had a lot of underground dealings with Russian mafia characters, many of them who have Jewish heritage and would not mind making a few bucks selling off misallocated Soviet arsenals to the highest bidder especially to Israel which has deep pockets. I read an entire book about the Russian mob, so it's not like I'm pulling this info from thin air and am just fabricating this answer because I would never do that.

"Israel was the sixth country in the world to develop nuclear weapons and is one of four nuclear-armed countries not recognized as a Nuclear Weapons State by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the other three being India, Pakistan and North Korea. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei regards Israel as a state possessing nuclear weapons, but Israel maintains a policy known as "nuclear ambiguity" (also known as "nuclear opacity"). Israel has never officially admitted to having nuclear weapons, instead repeating over the years that it would not be the first country to "introduce" nuclear weapons to the Middle East, leaving ambiguous whether it means it will not create or will not use the weapons. Israel began investigating the nuclear field just one year after its 1948 founding and with French support secretly began building a nuclear reactor and reprocessing plant in the late 1950s. Although Israel first built a nuclear weapon in 1967-68 it was not publicly confirmed from the inside until Mordechai Vanunu, a former Israeli nuclear technician, revealed details of the program to the British press in 1986. Estimates of the number of Israeli nuclear war heads range from 70 to 400. Israel has the ability to deliver them by missiles launched from the ground, aircraft or submarine."

They do. They wisely don't talk about it though.

Yes, 100-200 nuclear weapons utilizing the Jericho missile delivery system.

More than likely, yes, but I truly doubt they will ever admit it, and I believe they will use them one day unexpectantly, just not sure on what country.

Indeed it does, a reported 200 by all accounts. Despite Israel's secrecy and refusal to admit to possession of barbaric nuclear weapons, it is an open secret that Israel has had a nuclear arsenal for many a year. Mordechai Vanunu was the man who spilt the beans, and he went to prison for it. He is still under restrictions and virtual house arrest. So much for a nuclear-free Middle East!! Thanks for nothing, Israel!

this question is inappropriate for a public venue sorry

Whether they admit having them or not, they do.

Isreal is filled up with nuclear weapons and I suppose they have more nuclear weapons as America and Russia have together. I am quite sure that they will use them very soon and and if they use them it will be hundreds of them. They have been waiting for it for many years and many people are very sad that they could not use them before. If they find the slightest reason they will use them.

It is one of the worlds worst kept secrets that they do. They, of course, deny it - but all the intelligence services and pundits believe they do.

Israel has had nuclear weapons since 1967. Israel has never officially admitted it until recently. What I don't understand is why the whole world went ballistic to learn something that was already obvious.

Yes. They've had them for some time and we helped manufacture them.

inquiring minds want to know ... if they admit it, would they be subject to UN sanctions or trade embargoes? i doubt it. nothing would happen to them. the position of the world with regard to allowing nuclear energy in iran might shift more leniently. now, if you were israel, what would you do? i'd publicly deny possession of nuclear weapons (whether i had them or not) and covertly inform the rest of the world that i, indeed, might, so that the rest of the world doesn't push me again. given that the only reason the u.s. developed nuclear technology was because half of its top scientists were jewish, and the jewish people tend to be brilliant (i read something like the jewish people make up less than .25% of the world's population but the obtained 40% of the nobel prizes), i'd put my money on israel every time. their intelligence service spends 1/10th that of the u.s. and obtains twice as much reliable information. so, yep.

they do , they have the most adavance and deadliest weapons in the whole world :D Isreal Rocks:D

Israel almost certainly possesses various nuclear warheads. Otherwise all their rumbling,veiled threats directed at Iran would be empty and meaningless,unless of course they only plan to use non-nuclear weapons,and they have a plentiful arsenal of those as well. Israel is incredibly armed to the teeth given the tiny country it is. It has never been estimated properly how many nukes Israel stores underground at Dimona,but Mordechai Vanunu,an Israeli Peace supporter,went to jail for 18 years for trying to shed some light on this. He was accused by Israel of "spying".

Yes. America applies The Usual Double Standards for Israel.

It will be a quite interesting affair when Israel finally will use its nuclear weapons. I am sure they are waiting daily for using their weapons. It will be rather interesting to see the reactions that will follow.
