>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.

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 believe the US nuclear-armed Israel directly.

I doubt.
