“The goal was to plant a nuclear device on a hilltop and to blow it up when the prime minister gives the order to do so”

“The goal was to plant a nuclear device on a hilltop in the (Sinai) Abu-Ageila area and to blow it up when the prime minister gives the order to do so” said Brig. General Yaakov about the Israeli plans to explode a nuclear bomb just before the Six Day War, in series of interviews that were banned for publication by since 2001, but excerpts of which have been made public by a US think tank.

Much is yet to be told about this story, the making of it, and how we all, General Yaakov, myself, and others found themselves facing sever interrogation, threats and charges for grave espionage, all because of an interview.

Much to say- but I cannot, or this would be my last email to you for a while.

In the meantime here are some of the transcripts, as were published in the US:
