Israel is presently violating, and has for at least 47 years actively violated U.S. federal laws which prohibit the provision of U.S. military assistance to a nation that possesses nuclear weapons but refuses to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty of 1968 (NPT). Israel is believed to possess from 90 to 200 nuclear warheads and is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead from 4000 miles away. Israel has acquired the Bomb wholly outside of international legal controls. Its rogue nuclear status is of mounting concern during the present genocidal war it is waging in the Gaza Strip.
Israel’s provocative approach to foreign relations during the Gaza genocide suggests a real possibility that it might use nuclear weapons. Israel undoubtedly has targeted Tehran for nuclear attack. In May 2023, Prime Minister Netanyahu assessed that “95 percent of Israel’s security problems come from Iran.” Israel has been a rogue nuclear weapons state for at least 60 years and in the Palestinian crisis, there is growing worry that they might be used. Israel threatens to expand its war to additional Middle East countries. It is of the highest priority that President Biden cut off aid to Israel because of its rogue nuclear weapons program.
