Israel–South Africa Agreement
The Israel–South Africa Agreement (ISSA) was a secret defense co-operation agreement signed in 1975 between Israel and the government of South Africa. The agreement outlined the two nations’ cooperation on nuclear issues. It was signed by South African Prime Minister P.W. Botha and Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.

The agreement covered many different areas of defense co-operation at a time when both countries were unable to source weapons and defense technology freely on the international market, primarily because of arms embargoes in place at the time, in South Africa's case due to apartheid. A spokesperson for Peres denied the documents, asserting that there were "never any negotiations" between the two regimes.
