Israel | SIPRI
Israel continues to maintain its long-standing policy of nuclear opacity: it neither officially confirms nor denies that it possesses nuclear weapons.
www.sipri.orgThe Jewish state is widely thought to have a nuclear arsenal, without official confirmation, and remains outside the NPT framework. Estimates commonly place the arsenal near ninety warheads, spread across missiles, aircraft, and submarines. Israel's policy of ambiguity has persisted for decades. IAEA safeguards do not apply under its stated posture. External analyses suggest ongoing expansion and modernization of its forces. Estimates and debates continue in policy circles and international reporting.
