United Arab Emirates, Politics, 12/31/1998

The United Arab Emirates UAE Information minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Bin Sultan al-Nahyan has confirmed that Israel constitutes the greater danger and threat against the existence of the Arab nation.

In an interview with the London BBC radio on Wednesday, Sheikh Abdullah said that Israel possesses atomic bombs and unconventional developed weapons and does not abide by the international agreements which ban these weapons. He viewed that the UN inspectors committee of the Iraqi weapons became a "political" committee, a reference to the allegations that UNSCOM was following political motivations that are anti-Iraq.

He added the United Arab Emirates calls for lifting the sanctions on Iraq and confirmed solidarity with the Iraqi people.
