I've Been Thinking:

The United States has been pressuring Israel to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The pressure has increased now that the Washington DC nuclear convention, with 47 countries in attendance, has concluded.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak made a clear announcement.
He said that Israel will not be pressured by the United States.

"There is no room to pressure Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has never threatened to annihilate other nations and peoples, while today Iran, and also Syria, Libya and Iraq in the past, all of whom signed this treaty, have systematically violated its stipulations while explicitly threatening Israel's existence."

Barak is correct.
Israel cannot be pressured by the US, too much is at stake.
Israel cannot open its nuclear facilities to international inspections.
Israel cannot divulge their details, the details are what keeps Israel alive.

Israel uses the nuclear card to frighten their enemies.
That alone should be enough to make certain that Israel need not divulge the details of its nuclear potential.
The United States should know better.
