pinqy, Indofred, et al,
Well, --- this is a bit harsh. First off, can you point to a specific law, international adopted convention with the force of law, treaty, International Customary Law, or International Humanitarian Law, pertaining to domestic nuclear research and development that Israel had violated?
I don't think so!
Easy answer - never.
Israel doesn't allow UN inspections, nor will they sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
This rogue state, known for many attacks against its neighbours and mass murder of unarmed civilians, is a danger to the whole world.
Sanctions now
Sanctions? For violating a treaty they're not part of? Really? Israel, Pakistan, and India have never signed the NPT and therefore are perfectly free to have nuclear weapons. Iran did sign and did agree not to have nukes, so they are subject ot their own agreement. North Korea signed, but renounced its signature. That puts it into a gray area as far as I'm concerned.
(COMMENT)
Well
Article X of the NPT permits a country to withdraw.
Article X
1. Each Party shall in exercising its national sovereignty have the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this Treaty, have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country. It shall give notice of such withdrawal to all other Parties to the Treaty and to the United Nations Security Council three months in advance. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordinary events it regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.
2. Twenty-five years after the entry into force of the Treaty, a conference shall be convened to decide whether the Treaty shall continue in force indefinitely, or shall be extended for an additional fixed period or periods. This decision shall be taken by a majority of the Parties to the Treaty.
The key here is the clause: "jeopardized the supreme interests of its country."
If signing a Treaty would "jeopardized the supreme interests of" Israel to start with, then Israel should not sign the Treaty. Israel is still following the basic Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States, by refraining in their international relations from the threat or use of nuclear force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State. Israel has neither confirmed, nor denied, its capabilities as a nuclear-weapon State Party. Israel has never undertaken action to transfer to any recipient whatsoever --- nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices --- or control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly. Israel has not, in any way --- assisted, encouraged, or induced any non-nuclear-weapon State to manufacture, otherwise acquire, or control such weapons or explosive devices.
In fact, no country has come forth with any recent and credible evidence to establish a probable cause to believe that Israel has control over a nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.
In 2013, Israel did test fire the intermediate-range Jericho III Ballistic Missile
(range estimated at ≈ 5,000 km) which has the "potential" to deliver a medium size
[1,000-kg (2,204-lb)] nuclear warhead. But that does not mean it has such a warhead. The Jericho III will gradually replace the Jericho II predecessor; which was a two-stage missile with a range of 1,500 km. The Jericho III has a peaceful use as a satellite launch vehicle (SLV). The Jericho III would replace the Comet as the Israeli orbital launch vehicle capable of carrying small satellites into low earth orbit.
Most Respectfully,
