1. Denial of Israeli nukes.

"In his Elysee Palace, asked bluntly, "Why does Israel need a nuclear reactor at all?"

Ben-Gurion promised it would only be for peaceful uses, and that no facility for removing weapons-grade plutonium would be added at Dimona." p.72

"The words "truth" and "atomic" never went together in Israel. Prime Minister Ben-Gurion had told President Kennedy at the White House in 1961 that the Jewish state was working on nuclear power but not on a bomb. Washington was not buying that story." p.195

"Mordecai Vanunu had worked for nearly ten years as a technician in the top secret nuclear installation at Dimona, in the Negev Desert. He knew that it was a bomb factory, and that Israel had amassed a formidable arsenal of nuclear weapons. Vanunu had told one of Britain's newspapers, and soon everyone would know." p.360

Excerpts from "Every Spy a Prince", by Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman, Houghton Mifflin, 1990.
