Report : Israel offered to sell nuclear weapons to apartheid South Africa
The U.K. newspaper The Guardian reported on Sunday that Israel offered to provide apartheid-era South Africa with nuclear warheads in 1975, quoting a new book which also claimed Israel had passed the component which enabled the explosion of thermonuclear weapons over to South African regime.

Secret South African documents reveal that Israel offered to sell nuclear warheads to the apartheid regime, providing the first official documentary evidence of the state’s possession of nuclear weapons.
The documents show both sides met on 31 March 1975. Polakow-Suransky writes in his book published in the US this week, The Unspoken Alliance : Israel’s secret alliance with apartheid South Africa. At the talks Israeli officials « formally offered to sell South Africa some of the nuclear-capable Jericho missiles in its arsenal ».
The documents confirm accounts by a former South African naval commander, Dieter Gerhardt – jailed in 1983 for spying for the Soviet Union. After his release with the collapse of apartheid, Gerhardt said there was an agreement between Israel and South Africa called Chalet which involved an offer by the Jewish state to arm eight Jericho missiles with « special warheads ». Gerhardt said these were atomic bombs. But until now there has been no documentary evidence of the offer.
Some weeks before Peres made his offer of nuclear warheads to Botha, the two defence ministers signed a covert agreement governing the military alliance known as Secment. It was so secret that it included a denial of its own existence : « It is hereby expressly agreed that the very existence of this agreement... shall be secret and shall not be disclosed by either party ».
