| Summary/Abstract |
During the 1967 crisis, Yitzhak Ya’akov (nicknamed Ya’tza) was the senior Israeli Defense Force (IDF) staff officer in charge of weapons development, and as such acted as the chief liaison between the IDF and all civilian defense industries, including the nuclear project. This edited transcript documents one of a series of conversations that Avner Cohen had with Ya’tza, in Hebrew, in the summer of 1999 at Ya’tza’s residence in New York City. A longer version, slightly redacted due to security and privacy considerations, was posted on the website of the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) in 2017.

| Summary/Abstract |
Public understanding of the nuclear dimensions of the June 1967 Middle East War has progressed considerably since the late 1990s. Then, Israeli researchers showed that the vulnerability of Israel’s nuclear facility at Dimona to Egyptian air power played a significant role in the thinking of Israel’s military and political leaders during the crisis of May and early June. This issue’s special section offers significant new advances in addressing unresolved questions about the role of Israel’s nuclear program during these events. Did Egypt’s leaders actually have designs on Dimona, and how did their thinking about Dimona change over the course of the crisis? How close was Israel to possessing a usable nuclear device on the war’s eve? In what manner and circumstances might Israel have detonated its nuclear device? Did the US government know or suspect that Israel had an underground reprocessing plant adjacent to the Dimona reactor, enabling it to separate plutonium and build nuclear devices?

| Summary/Abstract |
For many years, the nuclear dimensions of the 1967 Middle East War were unacknowledged and obscure. In the last two decades, however, bits and pieces of evidence have surfaced about this issue. This article reviews and assesses the current state of knowledge on these aspects of the pre-war crisis, i.e., what we know with confidence, what we suspect, and what remains unknown. The first section explores the prewar background: the state of Israel’s nuclear project as well as the Israeli perception of Dimona as a possible trigger for war. The second part deals with the two nuclear dimensions of the crisis itself. The first is the role of Dimona in shaping, even precipitating, the Israeli response to the crisis. The second is the crash nuclear-related activity that took place during the crisis. The article reviews recent testimonies on how Israel assembled its first nuclear-explosive device while exploring operational ideas for improvising a “last resort” demonstration.

| Summary/Abstract |
We argue that the framework of norms has generated a progressive research agenda in the field of global nuclear politics, providing important insights that traditional realist and materialist analyses ignore or dismiss. These insights are not on the margins of nuclear politics; rather, they answer central questions about nuclear non-use, possession, and the nonproliferation regime at large. These findings are not a fluke; instead, they stem from the powerful analytical framework of norms, which provides complexes of linked propositions about actor expectations and behavior in global nuclear politics. This article examines three of those propositions: the importance of the logic of appropriateness, the role of norm contestation, and the changes brought about by norm entrepreneurs. Finally, we identify other norms-related ideas that can further illuminate the dire policy crises facing global nuclear governance, as well as specific areas of nuclear politics that would benefit from norms-related scrutiny.
