That's a misdirection.
on July 5th of 1963, President Kennedy sent a letter to Levi Eshkol, the pm of israel demanding they make the Dimona nuclear facility available for inspections to ensure the US wasn't paying for them to make nuclear weapons.
Kennedy specifically stated in a letter that israel was jeopardizing US support by not making the facility available.
Four months after that letter Kennedy id dead. Johnston sent in very friendly inspection team in January without any AEC safeguards backgrounds.
US intelligence repeatedly said that israel was compiling parts quick to assemble into weapons, and saying they didn't have weapons.
