... Egypt proposed the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. This proposal was not intended to replace the earlier idea of a nuclear-weapon-free zone [in the Middle East], but rather to be pursued in parallel ... The expansion of the Middle East zone concept, to include all weapons of mass destruction and also their means of delivery, seemed politically acceptable.

OBS
