The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has reiterated its call to make the Middle East region free from nuclear weapons, and said security and stability don't come through acquisition of weapons of mass destruction but through cooperation and consultation among the countries as well as through realizing development and progress. These remarks were made by advisor at the Saudi embassy in Hague Naif bin Bandar Al-Sudeiry while addressing today the fifth meeting for the international initiative for fighting nuclear terrorism. He pointed out that acquisition of nuclear weapons by Israel constitutes a basic obstacle for bringing about security and stability to the region. The justifications of Israel for its acquisition of weapons of mass destruction run counter to its allegations that it is keen on coexistence with the nations of the region, he said, adding that genuine peace should be based on confidence and proving good intentions with the nations and countries of the region as well as ending injustice, occupation and vicious crimes and not through acquisition of nuclear weapons and imposing the policy of hegemony which does not only threaten the nations of the region but also the global peace and security. --MORE
