Nabil Fahmy: Water and Food Must Not Be Used as Weapons of War or Political Pressure

Nabil Fahmy, secretary-general of the Arab League, said water and food must not be used as instruments of war or political pressure.

Fahmy stressed that water and food security are integral to the broader concept of Arab national security.

His remarks placed access to these essential resources within a comprehensive security framework, rather than treating them as issues separate from the region’s wider interests.

The statement linked the protection of water and food supplies to Arab security while rejecting their use as tools of coercion.
