Israel Deploys Nuclear Weapons on German-Built Submarines
Germany is helping Israel to develop its military nuclear capabilities, SPIEGEL has learned. According to extensive research carried out by the magazine, Israel is equipping submarines that were built in the northern German city of Kiel and largely paid for by the German government with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. The missiles can be launched using a previously secret hydraulic ejection system. Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak told SPIEGEL that Germans should be "proud" that they have secured the existence of the state of Israel "for many years."In the past, the German government has always stuck to the position that it is unaware of nuclear weapons being deployed on the vessels. Now, however, former high-ranking officials from the German Defense Ministry, including former State Secretary Lothar Rühl and former chief of the planning staff Hans Rühle, have told SPIEGEL that they had always assumed that Israel would deploy nuclear weapons on the submarines. Rühl had even discussed the issue with the military in Tel Aviv.
Gilinsky
German submarines for Israeli nuclear weapons
In selling Israel submarines designed in
full knowledge as platforms for nuclear missiles Germany is violating
the sense of the Nonproliferation Treaty. The deal slips through a
loophole in the Treaty because the NPT prohibition on assisting and
encouraging a state's nuclear weapons program applies to a nuclear
weapons country, which Germany is not. And the prohibition on obtaining
such assistance applies to Treaty members, of which Israel is not one.
But in selling the submarines specifically for nuclear weapons, and in
holding discussions to facilitate such use, Germany is behaving
irresponsibly. It should find more constructive ways to work off a bad
conscience.
