@Powerfromspace1 If I were #Zelenskyy I'd certainly see no reason to even consider that, rather quit the #NPT unless being admitted as full #EU & #NATO member since #Russia unilaterally violated the #BudapestMemorandum since 2011 and thus the entire deal is off!

"#Israel continues to maintain its long-standing policy of #nuclear opacity: it neither officially confirms nor denies that it possesses #NuclearWeapons. In December 2014 the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution on #NuclearProliferation risks in the #MiddleEast that urged Israel to renounce the possession of nuclear weapons, accede to the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (Non-Proliferation Treaty, #NPT) ‘without further delay’ and place all of its nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) comprehensive safeguards.
"It is estimated that Israel has approximately 80 nuclear weapons. Of these, approximately 30 are gravity bombs for delivery by aircraft. The remaining 50 weapons are for delivery by #JerichoII medium-range ballistic missiles, which are believed to be based with their mobile launchers in caves at a military base east of #Jerusalem. The operational status of a new #JerichoIII intermediate-range #BallisticMissile is unknown. In 2013 Israel conducted a launching test of a ‘rocket propulsion system’, which appeared to be for a Jericho III missile."
