The Israeli authorities tried to stop South Africa’s post-apartheid government declassifying the documents
I find this hard to believe…. the new South African administration is very anti-Israel… the first democratically elected Foreign Minister (Pallo Jordan) in particular.
The ANC have a long history of close relations with the PLO… if the ANC governement uncovered any documents proving the apartheid era had relations with Israel over such an explosive (ha ha) issue as nuclear weapons they would have jumped at the chance to assist their ‘comrades’ in the PLO and further demonise the aparthied era.
Either there was no nuclear co-operation or the old apartheid government did an excellent job of destroying any evidence before capitulating (much more likely).
