Israel has nearly 300 nuclear weapons

The Israeli prime minister has decided against going to the US for a nuclear summit, which was to have involved the leaders of 47 nations. Mr. Netanyahu dropped out by announcing at a press conference that he wanted to highlight Israel's opposition to a nuclear Iran. It is known in political circles that he also decided not to attend because some Muslim delegates were planning to raise the issue of Israel's assumed arsenal of hundreds of weapons. Over the weekend, Jane's Defence Weekly, which deals with military information, estimated that the State of Israel has up to 300 nuclear warheads, with a power similar to that of Britain.
