“And our worst fears are slowly becoming reality: Israel is losing the war, and the idea of using nuclear arms is starting to get on the table.”

President Trump has stated that Israel “would never” use a nuclear weapon, following comments from White House advisor David Sacks suggesting that the regime in Tel Aviv might consider the nuclear option if its war escalates. For decades, Israel has maintained a policy of ambiguity regarding its nuclear capabilities, allowing it to receive billions in US military aid without scrutiny. It is believed to possess between 90 and 300 nuclear warheads.

Sacks warned that if the conflict continues, Israel “could get seriously destroyed” and might contemplate a nuclear strike, which would be “truly catastrophic.” Trump dismissed this, insisting Israel would not cross that line. The international community must condemn Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal, which poses a grave danger to regional stability and remains a glaring double standard in non-proliferation efforts.
