Does Israel have nukes?

Israel maintains a policy of 'nuclear ambiguity', neither confirming nor denying the existence of its nuclear arsenal. This strategic silence allows it to deter potential adversaries without provoking an arms race. The suspected site at Pickaxe Mountain, mentioned by Carlson, is often linked to these long-standing suspicions about Israel's capabilities.
