Revealed: how Israel offered to sell South Africa nuclear weapons

Secret South African documents reveal that Israel offered to sell nuclear warheads to the apartheid regime, providing the first official documentary evidence of the state's possession of nuclear weapons.

The "top secret" minutes of meetings between senior officials from the two countries in 1975 show that South Africa's defence minister, PW Botha, asked for the warheads and Shimon Peres, then Israel's defence minister and now its president, responded by offering them "in three sizes". The two men also signed a broad-ranging agreement governing military ties between the two countries that included a clause declaring that "the very existence of this agreement" was to remain secret.

Apart toch altijd weer, die vredesprijs-dragers die je bij duistere zaken weer tegenkomt.

BBC News - Israel's Peres Denies South Africa Nuclear Weapons Deal

The Guardian also said the documents could undermine any claim that Israel might make that it is a responsible country and can be trusted to hold nuclear weapons, while Iran is not.

The alleged deal also indicates the strength of the relationship between the Israeli government and apartheid South Africa, the Guardian said.

The secret documents were declassified by the post-apartheid South African government.

They include minutes of secret meetings between officials of both countries - one cover note is apparently signed by PW Botha, then South Africa's defence minister, and Mr Peres.

They refer to an offer of Israeli weapons "in three sizes" this is thought to refer to conventional, biological and nuclear weapons.

Weer een typisch geval van "ouds". De bron is overigens 404 gegaan inmiddels.

Ik zou een aanklacht indienen als ik hem was wegens smaad, een scherpe brief zet geen zoden aan de dijk.
