SPIRI: Israel Has 90 Nuclear Warheads, Not 200

Israel is upgrading its nuclear arsenal maintains the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute(SIPRI). 

With regards its deathly weapons, Israel maintains what its terms  “nuclear ambiguity”, neither confirming nor denying the possession of nuclear capability and refuses to admit in public that it has nuclear weapons.

However, in its report, SIPRI  ranks Israel  number eight globally in terms of the number of stored nuclear warheads. 

The Swedish organization estimates Israel has 90 nuclear warheads, more than North Korea’s estimated 50.

One blogger comments the rogue state of Israel has an estimated 200 nuclear warheads but has never signed the 1968 nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

He maintains Israel’s “Samson Option” is a nuclear strategy that involves the use of nuclear weapons as a last resort in the event of an existential threat to the state.

Another maintains Israel controls America’s politics, money, and weapons. He adds Israel is a threat to America and the world, not Russia, not China, not North Korea, not Iran.

Gaza in Starvation Mode Thanks to Israel

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
