> While it's generally estimated that Israel has nukes, there's actually no evidence that they do. They've never tested one and you're never going to hold something in your pocket for defense that's untested.
That's one take.
It's really hard to say what the US has allowed as regards Israel. Locals near a particular nuclear facility can recall an Israeli "team of scientists" mysteriously visiting the facility, a year or so before Israel declared themselves a nuclear power. The assumption is that they "snuck" material out, while US officials were "distracted" - by prior agreement.
I believe the US nuclear-armed Israel directly.
facility is in the middle of the desert, in the middle of the nothing 8 miles from "locals"
not sure how locals can see "team of scientists" visiting it

Israel has never declared themselves a nuclear power. They literally have a hebrew word for their refusal to answer questions on the matter.
That's also a very very suspicious story that anonymous locals near an anonymous nuclear facility that supposedly knew about a top secret team of israel scientists...

I doubt.
