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

Tunisia expresses concern about the statements that normalise nuclear threats, specifically referring to remarks made by a former Israeli official which undermine international peace and security. Tunisia calls for a clear roadmap towards establishing the Zone and stresses the role of multilateral diplomacy. It underscores that Israel’s refusal to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty obstructs progress on the Zone. Tunisia reaffirms the right to peaceful nuclear energy, and urges states to bridge the technological gap and exchange on best practices.
