I think it’s possible they already have nukes and want to wait for Israel to over extend themselves so that they can use them for a first strike with maximum efficacy. They’ve done a lot for Russia. The idea that they don’t have nuclear armament is somewhat hard for me to believe.

The whole point of having nukes is letting everyone know you have them.
It depends on your military doctrine, if facing a first strike adversary you wouldn’t necessarily want them to believe you capable.
