summary: "John Vorster was the Prime Minister of South Africa."
---
John Vorster was the Prime Minister of [[South Africa]]. He had sided with [[Germany]] during World War II. In 1976, he visited [[Israel]], marking the first official state visit by a South African prime minister to [[Israel]]. This visit resulted in a renewal of full diplomatic relations, as well as secret arms transfer agreements that would enable the two countries to work together in defiance of international opinion and [[United Nations]] sanctions.[^1]
[[Shimon Peres]] made at least one private trip to [[Pretoria]] before the Vorster visit to arrange for arms and nuclear cooperation. His agenda included nuclear testing, and he won a commitment in principle from John Vorster for a series of joint Israeli–South African tests in [[South Africa]].[^1]
