AS Western countries are floating the theory that Russia could escalate its conflict with Ukraine to a nuclear war, many governments continue to turn a blind eye to Israel’s own nuclear weapons capabilities. Luckily, many countries around the world do not subscribe to this endemic Western hypocrisy.
The Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction was held from November 14-18, with the sole purpose of creating new standards of accountability that, as should have always been the case, are applied equally to all Middle Eastern countries.
The debate regarding nuclear weapons in the Middle East could not possibly be any more pertinent or urgent.

Considering the seemingly perpetual state of conflict in the Middle East, the region is likely to witness nuclear rivalry as well.
