Iran has not pledged not bring this online. North Korea and India both used this type of reactor to create material for their bombs. Luckily, France is demanding that this plant be disabled.
OK, look here - According to this, Israel's per capita military spending is 2nd highest in the world, after Saudi Arabia. Also note that about 20% of that is gifted by American taxpayers. Also the figures here for Israel are lower than others quoted on the web, about 16 billion dollars is the typical estimate.

I am surprised that Israel is not on this. What is the story there? Israel's military spending must be somehow misrepresented here.
