Democrat Rep. Joaquin Castro grilled Undersecretary Thomas DiNanno over Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Although DiNanno is the Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, he refused to answer Castro’s inquiry.
“What is Israel’s nuclear capability in terms of weapons?” Castro asked in an intelligence committee. “I can’t comment on that specific question. I’d have to refer you to the Israelis on that,” DiNanno replied. “Does Israel have nuclear weapons?” Castro reasserted the question. “I’m not prepared to comment on that,” DiNanno insisted.
