The shadow of the Israeli nuclear program has been hovering over the strategic scene of the Middle East for many years. In the course of this period it has attracted considerable Arab attention, and has been the focus of extensive media coverage as well as public debate in academic and elite circles. This public debate has focused on three main facets of the issue: The capabilities that Israel is developing in the nuclear domain, and the likely motivation that is guiding its activities in this realm; The immediate, as well a long-term, ramification of the Israeli nuclear program, especially its implications on and for the Middle East, the Arab world, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and specific Arab players, most notably Egypt and the Palestinians; How the Arabs as a whole and individual Arab players should respond to this challenge.
