On 7 July, Israel’s Army Radio reported that the United States had sent Israel a “secret letter” pledging nuclear cooperation between the two countries.
According to the report, the Obama administration promised to sell nuclear technology, despite Israel’s refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The deal was confirmed by Israeli finance minister Yuval Steinitz on 8 July. He called it a major achievement of the 6 July meeting of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu with US president Barack Obama.
