What nuclear Armageddon? Israelis don't have nuclear weapons, that's what they told us. They wouldn't lie, they are good people. BBC told me.

BBC: 14 January 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-51091897

Nine countries currently have nuclear weapons: the US, UK, Russia, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.

You specifically implicated the BBC in the denial of Israeli nuclear weapons, so I simply provided proof to the contrary.
