Global Zero: An Israeli Vision of Realistic Idealism
Levite, Ariel E.
Washington Quarterly, April 2010, v33, #2, pp157-168

"Trying to portray the Israeli outlook on a nuclear-free world presents a formidable challenge. The issue is not merely the inability to access the inner thoughts of the government, considering that no official statements on the issue are available. More fundamentally, the challenge is to validly portray a national view on an issue that has not really captured the attention of the Israeli government, let alone yielded a coherent policy formulation on it. It is, however, feasible to reflect on some factors that may explain why the renewed international interest in a nuclear-weapons-free world has thus far failed to register in Israel."
Ariel E. Levite is a nonresident senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
