Former Israeli intelligence analyst and convicted spy Jonathan Pollard has advocated for Israel to threaten nuclear weapons if the United States imposes a ceasefire in Lebanon. Pollard recounted a 1973 incident during the Yom Kippur War when Israel reportedly parked a Skyhawk aircraft with unconventional weapons to pressure the US into resuming arms shipments. When asked if Israel should make a similar nuclear threat now, Pollard stated, 'Absolutely, except this time, I want us to go forward with it if necessary.' His comments come amid ongoing tensions and a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
