41. Before concluding my remarks on the Middle East I want to touch on a most dangerous development in that already explosive situation. I refer to the indiscriminate supply of arms and money to Israel, the aggressor in the Middle East, by the very State which purports to be working tirelessly for peace at the diplomatic level. More particularly, the Somali Democratic Republic and, I am sure, the overwhelming majority of Member States, find it inconceivable that the introduction of nuclear missiles could be contemplated by any State with a genuine wish for peace in that area. We trust that such action will not be taken, and that serious attention will be given to redressing the arms balance in the Middle East as an important step towards the ending of the arms race and the establishment of stability and security in the area.
