Pinhas Sapir was an Israeli politician who, along with Levi Eshkol, dominated the Israeli budget process for more than fifteen years. He was a perennial critic of Israel's nuclear program, viewing the Egyptian arms buildup as the most compelling argument against investing money at Dimona. Sapir saw a nuclear-armed Israel as financial madness and believed it would only lead to conflicts with the United States and a lessened flow of American contributions.1
