"The US has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons; the Soviet Union (sic) has about the same; Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more," festival organisers quoted him as saying.


"We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry... not only of enormous weaponry but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target."


Most experts estimate that Israel has between 100 and 200 nuclear warheads, largely based on information leaked to the Sunday Times newspaper in the 1980s by Mordechai Vanunu, a former worker at the country's Dimona nuclear reactor.
