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

Yemen highlights the failure to implement the 1995 resolution and insists that all regional States must participate in the conference, particularly Israel, which continues to refuse joining the treaty and placing its nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards. It condemns Israel’s recent statements and threats to use nuclear weapons against civilians in Gaza and calls for a unified international stance. The statement urges Iran to comply fully with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and Security Council Resolution 2231 and ratify the Additional Protocol. Yemen advocates for negative security assurances from nuclear-weapon States as a pillar of mutual confidence to address legitimate regional security concerns.
