“Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly was directly involved in an Israeli international smuggling ring that illegally acquired 800 nuclear weapons triggers from a U.S. firm.”

Drop Site News reports: “A set of classified U.S. intelligence documents purporting to show information about Israel’s plans to strike in Iran have been confirmed as authentic in a report by CNN.
“Drop Site News has also been reviewing these documents since they were posted on a pro-Axis of Resistance Telegram channel on October 17. The documents are labeled top secret and only to be shared by Five Eyes intelligence partners. The nature and motivations of the leak are as yet unknown, while the U.S. government claims to be conducting an internal investigation.” (For some analysis of the docs, whether they are authentic and what they mean, see here and here. Kevin Gosztola relates it to War Powers, Scott Ritter thinks Iran has nuclear weapons.)

In terms of what can be done however, key is that Drop Site News then notes: “The documents … make reference to Israel’s unacknowledged nuclear program.”
Aside from the docs possible effect regarding the anticipated Israeli attack on Iran, this creates a major opening since both the US and Israeli governments have refused to acknowledge the existence of Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal.
Earlier this year, Veterans For Peace wrote an in-depth letter to the administration which began: “The nation of Israel possesses a large nuclear weapons program. It is illegal under international law for Israel to have them. Because Israel has nuclear weapons and has tested them in the past, they have also violated U.S. federal law– 22 U.S.C. § 2799aa-1– and are completely disqualified from receiving any military aid and related assistance from the United States. The U.S. President has no lawful discretion whatsoever to allow any military assistance of any form to be delivered to Israel. Existing military assistance arrangements must be immediately curtailed.” The letter excellently breaks down Israel’s violations of the Arms Export Control Act and the Symington-Glenn Amendments.
It also highlights the sitting Israel prime minister’s role in the affair: “In the 1980’s, before he was Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly was directly involved in an Israeli international smuggling ring that illegally acquired 800 nuclear weapons triggers from a U.S. firm.” See PDF of the 11-page letter.
