In case anybody is curious about this, archived correspondence between JFK and Israel tells the tale. Through the CIA/etc, JFK was aware that Israel was developing nuclear weapons at Dimona. He was also aware that neither Egypt nor any other regional power was doing the same, and believed that Israel doing so would destabilize the region. He was therefore calling for inspections of Dimona to stop Israel's bomb program. At the same time, the Israelis were playing dumb saying they weren't doing anything while simultaneously justifying their bomb program by accusing Egypt of having or developing nukes too. JFK did no believe this and was challenging Israel to prove it. Later that year, JFK got shot in the head, and then days later the supposed gunman was himself assassinated by a jewish gangster named Jacob Rubenstein.

All of this is archived in their letters to and from each other and easily locatable online.
