Israel’s policy of nuclear ambiguity has remained practically unchallenged for almost 50 years, not least within Israel itself, where the issue has been a sacred taboo. But the changing international environment, the threat of uncontrolled nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, and the new policies being worked out in the US might all be good reasons for Israel to consider revising its nuclear doctrine.
以色列的模糊核政策已经在过去近五十年间没有受到过实际的挑战，在其国内，情况更是如此：这一议题一直是不容染指的禁忌。但是不断变化的国际环境、中东地区不受控制的核扩散所带来的威胁以及美国正在酝酿的新政策等因素，可能都为以色列考虑修正其核原则提供了很好的理由。毕竟，目前的核战略既没有真正发挥出对常规袭击的威慑作用（在外界推测以色列发展核武库的这些年间，袭击事件层出不穷），也未能成功地警告其对手（如伊朗）不要发展核武器。
