The statement outlined Morocco’s views that the 4th session is an opportunity to discuss not only regional security but also verification and peaceful uses. These are core issues that could accelerate achieving the goal of establishing the zone. The statement stresses the need for mutual understanding on regional security and deconstructing distrust in regional security mechanisms. The statement advocates for unifying global efforts and aligning the zone with the objectives of the NPT, TPNW, and CTBT. The statement raises a deep concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
