Qatar Urges IAEA Oversight for All Israeli Nuclear Sites

Vienna: Qatar has called for increased international efforts to place all Israeli nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In a statement on Sunday, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the UN nuclear watchdog to bring all of Israel's nuclear facilities under its supervision.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the statement followed a meeting of IAEA governors in Vienna attended by Jassim Yacoub Al-Hammadi, Qatar's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations Office and International Organizations in Vienna. It also called on Israel to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

During the meeting, Al-Hammadi emphasized the need for the international community and its institutions to uphold their commitments under UN Security Council resolutions. He called for increased international efforts to make Israel join the NPT, noting that all Middle Eastern countries are parties to the treaty and have established safeguard agreements with the IAEA.

The official further condemned Israel's policies toward Palestinians, including calls for the forced displacement of residents of Gaza, blocking humanitarian aid, and intensifying military raids in the occupied West Bank.
