    By the French in secret actually…

    They wanted to use Israel as a proxy against Egypt, so they helped them develop nukes almost immediately after Israel was created.

    If France launched a nuke at Egypt, they’d get one back.

    So the plan was Israel would use a nuke if it came to it, then take the consequences while Europe escaped unscathed.
