The potential for export of nuclear material and know-how by countries such as Pakistan – and perhaps one day Iran – is also a matter of concern for Israel. Indeed, Israel insists that it is, after all, Iran, not Israel’s supposed nuclear capabilities, that triggered the current Middle East nuclear arms race.
此外，以色列也关心诸如巴基斯坦等国（有朝一日，伊朗也可能跻身其间）在核原料以及核技术出口方面的潜力。事实上，以色列坚称挑起当前中东地区核军备竞赛的元凶终究还是伊朗，而非推测中自己所具备的核能力。
