It also attempts to determine the role that such weapons might be given in the context of Israeli military strategy and political aims. The first section discusses the origins and development of the Israeli military enterprise, its facilities, research centers, and the institutions that determine nuclear policy. It also describes early atomic cooperation with France and future plans, including the desalination project using nuclear power.
