Germany Secretly Funded ’Israel’s’ Nuke Bomb

West Germany secretly funded the development of "Israel's" nuclear weapons, a German newspaper had claimed, despite "Israeli" denials.

"Welt" newspaper repeated long-standing allegations that the government of former chancellor Konrad Adenauer secretly channeled hundreds of millions of dollars into the Zionist government's nuclear program in the 1960s.

The newspaper insisted the claims were true, despite a categorical denial earlier this month from Shimon Peres, the former "Israeli" president, who was in charge of the nuclear weapons project at the time.

Furthermore, in a detailed report, Welt claimed the funds were disguised as a $500 million [£338 million] loan for the development of the al-Naqab desert.

The arrangement was agreed at a meeting between Adenauer and David Ben-Gurion, the Zionist prime minister, in New York in 1960, the newspaper claimed.

Though, the agreement was informal and was never scrutinized by the West German cabinet or parliament.
It was known as "Aktion Geschäftsfreund" or "Operation Business Associate" by the West German foreign ministry.

Hence, the funds were channeled to "Israel" through the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau, a government-owned development bank.

However, the bank had declined to release details of its payments to the Zionist government under the program.

Nonetheless, it had long been claimed that West Germany helped pay for "Israel's" nuclear weapons program, but Peres issued a denial earlier this month.

The 91-year-old told "Spiegel" magazine the allegations were the result of a misunderstanding.

The suspicions date back to claims by Franz Josef Strauss, a former West German defense minister, about a secret meeting with Ben-Gurion in Paris in 1961.

The former "Israeli" prime minister had "come to talk about nuclear weapons production", Strauss claimed.

Moreover, Peres, who was also at the meeting, told "Spiegel": "Maybe Strauss understood that, but I didn't hear Ben-Gurion say it". He added that the West German money was indeed spent on "the development of the Negev desert".

Accordingly, Peres was believed to have been in charge of the "Israeli" nuclear weapons project.

All in all, the Zionist entity had never officially acknowledged it possesses nuclear weapons although explicit details and photographs of its weapons project were leaked by Mordechai Vanunu, a former nuclear technician, in 1986.
