Israel points a finger at Pakistan - helping Syria develop a nuclear program
The question is why did Israel choose 2018 to point an accusing finger at Pakistan? Publications about Khan's network exploits are visible online, and the defense establishment could have left the ambiguity surrounding Pakistan's involvement

Publication by the IDF Spokesperson in the context of exposing the attack on the reactor in Syria in 2007
One of the items exposed in a report by the IDF Spokesperson's Office about the attack on the reactor in Syria in 2007 reveals a leading page of a classified Intelligence Intelligence Review of 2004 (the review itself was not published publicly). On this page, Pakistan was listed as a factor that helped Syria develop the reactor, along with the North Atlantic and another unknown country.
According to an interview with Amnon Sufrin, who was in charge of research at the Mossad, he revealed that at the end of January 2004, the Mossad knew that Khan's network was in contact with Syrian officials. Apparently, this awareness began the designated collection in Israel around the reactor in Syria.
Reports of Pakistani involvement in building the reactor in Syria are not new. The publication of telegraph.co.uk in 2011 revealed a suspicion that ties existed between Abdul Kader Khan's network and Syrian officials. "The twin revelations provide the most compelling evidence linking the" father "of Pakistan's atomic bomb with Syria, and they also confirm that the Syrian regime has chosen two separate tracks in its attempts to develop a nuclear weapons program,
According to a 2004 document by the US deputy director of national intelligence, the CIA claims that Khan's interrogators suspect that he has sold nuclear-related technology to Syria (the same year that MI's published review and the same year the Mossad He understood that Khan was involved in Syria, and was the US the source of information from the Israeli intelligence community in this context?)
On the face of it, the question arises, why did Israel choose 2018 to point an accusing finger at Pakistan? Publications about Khan's network exploits are visible online, and the defense establishment could have left the ambiguity surrounding Pakistan's involvement. But chose not to do so. why? This is an open question. As of this writing, Pakistan's response to Israel's accusations has not been observed.
[A point to think about: The knowledge about the Khan-Syria ties is what apparently started the chain of collection in Israel around the subject. Recall that Israeli intelligence - Mossad and MI - missed Khan's network until it was exposed in 2003 by the CIA.]
