Mordechai Vanunu exposed Israel's nuclear program in 1986, revealing details to The Sunday Times. He was abducted by Mossad, convicted of treason, and served 18 years in prison, including 11 in solitary. Released in 2004, he faces ongoing restrictions, renewed in July 2024, barring him from leaving Israel or meeting foreigners. Supporters view him as a whistleblower for transparency; Israel sees him as a traitor endangering security. His situation appears unchanged in 2025, with no new major developments reported.
