Statement by State of Palestine at the Fifth Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and other WMD

The establishment of an ME WMDFZ is not merely a regional but a collective international responsibility. Palestine emphasizes the importance of participation by all countries in the region at the conference, while maintaining a serious commitment. Israel’s refusal to participate represents a deliberate act of self-isolation and a disregard for the collective will of the international community, as well as the legitimate aspirations of the states in the region.
