Thirty House Democrats sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Trump administration to publicly acknowledge Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program. Led by Democratic Congressmember Joaquin Castro, the lawmakers wrote, “Congress has a constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about the nuclear balance in the Middle East, the risk of escalation by any party to this conflict, and the administration’s planning and contingencies for such scenarios. We do not believe we have received that information.” The letter breaks a bipartisan policy of silence on Israel’s nuclear program dating to a secret 1969 agreement between President Richard Nixon and Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
