Netanyahu’s latest corruption case could expose long hidden secrets about Israel’s nuclear weapons program
From the article:
"Netanyahu is accused of accepting more than $283,000 worth of champagne and cigars in exchange for tax breaks and for intervening to help Milchan get his U.S. visa. Netanyahu is actually reported to have asked Secretary of State John Kerry three times to intervene on Milchan’s behalf by helping to arrange a long-term visa for Milchan to stay in the U.S.
The recommendations to indict Netanyahu could be dangerous for much more than the survival of Netanyahu’s government. Probing of the Netanyahu-Milchan connection could, more seriously, threaten long hidden secrets about Israel’s nuclear weapons program and about how it was illegally midwifed by betraying Israel’s American ally . . .
Potential Ramifications
Though the Netanyahu-Smyth connection is occasionally glanced at, the direct link between Netanyahu and Arnon Milchan, the man he is facing charges over, is never mentioned in the mainstream media. If Netanyahu were to face trial over the Milchan indictments, the ramifications could go beyond his remaining in office. If a legal examination of the relationship between Netanyahu and Milchan, which may include his currently using Milchan as a middle man in one of the newspaper bribery cases, were to bring out that Netanyahu used Milchan as a middleman in the 1980’s to illegally smuggle U.S. parts into Israel for use in Israel’s clandestine nuclear program, then that could potentially not only force a public admission of the existence of the nuclear program, but also an American admission that they knew Israel was illegally acquiring U.S. parts to help them develop that nuclear program. And that, and not the survival of Netanyahu’s government, may be the biggest danger in these indictments."
