"We are, in the fullest sense, fighting this war side by side with a country whose potential nuclear weapons program the United States government officially refuses to acknowledge. The withholding of information about Israel's nuclear weapons poses an enormous risk as the U.S. fights alongside and aids Israel in numerous conflicts across the Middle East."
"A policy of official ambiguity about the nuclear capabilities of one party to this conflict makes coherent nonproliferation policy in the Middle East impossible, for Iran, for Saudi Arabia, and for every other state in the region making decisions based on their perceptions of the capabilities of their neighbors."
A group of House Democrats is urging the Trump administration to disclose information regarding Israel's nuclear weapons capabilities. Led by Rep. Joaquin Castro, they argue that the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to Israel as it does to other nations, particularly in light of ongoing tensions with Iran. The lawmakers express concern that the lack of transparency regarding Israel's nuclear arsenal undermines nuclear nonproliferation efforts in the Middle East and complicates regional security dynamics.
