The article focuses on the nuclear option of Israel. It includes a description of Israel's nuclear technology. The discussion of the nuclear program includes the understanding of reasons why the option of nuclear arms has become a part of the country's strategic calculations. The people of Israel believe that the main problem they are facing is the issue of security and though they have fought into several wars, their country has yet to achieve the true and lasting peace with its Arab neighbors. Israel has the ability to develop nuclear weapons and with the approval of the United States to provide nuclear reactor to the military of Egypt, Israel is encouraged in joining the nuclear club.
