Kennedy's Stance on Israel's Nuclear Reactor

L'altro problema che Kennedy affrontò con Israele fu la costruzione del

reattore atomico di Dimona. JFK era fermamente contrario a qualsiasi

proliferazione di armi nucleari.

Il primo ministro David Ben-Gurion gli aveva assicurato che Dimona era

progettato per usi pacifici dell'energia atomica.

Nella primavera del 1963, Kennedy pretese ispezioni complete

da parte degli Stati Uniti del reattore di Dimona e

minacciò di sospendere gli aiuti americani a Israele se non si fosse

raggiunto un accordo. E al momento del suo assassinio,

erano in corso negoziati per ispezioni semestrali.

The other problem Kennedy faced with Israel was the construction of the atomic reactor at Dimona. JFK was strongly against any proliferation of nuclear weaponry. He had been assured by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion that Dimona was designed for peaceful uses of atomic energy.

In the spring of nineteen sixty-three, Kennedy demanded full inspections by the US of the Dimona reactor and threatened to place American aid for Israel in limbo if no agreement were reached. And at the time of his assassination, negotiations were in process for biannual inspections.
