Jerusalem. Prime Minister of Israel Yair Lapid A speech with a metaphor that rarely occurs to a country that is suspected of having nuclear weapons in its speech.
Speaking at an event to mark the change in leadership in the country's Atom Energy Commission, Lapid refers to Israeli defensive and offensive abilities, as well as what he calls "other abilities" - understood as reference to nuclear weapons. "The operational arena in the dome is invisible above us built on defensive capabilities and offensive abilities, and what tends to be called foreign media as' other skills'. This other ability keeps us alive and will keep us alive as long as we and our children are here," said Lapid.
Israel is widely believed to have several hundred nuclear weapons, developing technology in the 1960s. Unlike most countries that are assumed to have nuclear weapons, Israel has never officially declared ownership.
Instead he pursued the opacity policy - which means the leaders of Israel, when driven, prefer to make skewed references or ambiguous only to nuclear. A statement like that was first made in the early 1960s by the junior defense minister at the time Shimon Peres who said that Israel "was certainly not the first to introduce nuclear weapons to the region."
Recently, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert seems to recognize nuclear abilities when he calls Israel, along with the United States, Russia and France, has nuclear weapons, although he then tries to disprove comments, made on German television.
Benjamin Netanyahu also referred to Israel as "Nuclear Power"during the presentation to his cabinet, before he corrects himself to say" energy power. "
