UNIDIR is profoundly saddened to learn of the passing of Ambassador Wael Al Assad, a distinguished Jordanian diplomat, UNIDIR Senior Fellow and strong voice on disarmament issues. We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Ambassador Hilale chaired, yesterday, from Amman in Jordan, the 3rd Working Committee of the Conference for the establishment of a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.

The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane. A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately. This is a moment for moral clarity & action.

Thanks to Alva Myrdal Centre for the opportunity to share my work with Leonardo Bandarra on cooperation models for transferring #nuclear #enrichment technology at this year's conference at Uppsala University. Grateful for the insights and feedback.

Arms Control in the #MiddleEast keeps falling short. Why? Is the #nuclear proliferation landscape shifting -and are regional perspectives changing too? I take a closer look in my latest piece for PRISME (@prismeorg.bsky.social). Grateful to Dr. Emma Soubrier (@esoubrier.bsky.social) and Coralie Pison Hindawi for their input.

Almuntaser Albalawi also argues for broader regional engagement: “Gulf Arab states—particularly since the rapprochement with Iran—have both the incentives and opportunity to take a more active role in promoting sustainable, regionally owned solutions to nuclear risks” Almuntaser Albalawi
