Statement by Palestine at the Sixth Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other WMD

Palestine views the conference as an important step toward creating a secure regional order based on international law, equality among states, and the prohibition of any means that threaten others. 
The statement calls for the active participation of all regional parties and emphasizes the conference’s inclusivity, as it operates on a consensus basis. Palestine describes Israel’s continued boycott of the conference as self-isolation and the main challenge towards establishing the Zone. The statement warns against unconditional support to Israel, which encourages its non-compliance with International Law and refusal to engage in the conference.
