66. I should like to express our thanks to you and to the members of the Council for giving me the opportunity to take part in the discussion on the agenda item before the Council, since the Yemen Arab Republic is now presiding over the Organization of the Islamic Conference. 67. The Security Council is meeting today to review once again a treacherous aggression which demonstrates Zionist terrorism in its worst form. That aggression committed by Israel the day before yesterday against the’ Republic of Tunisia, a State Member. of the Organization, is another example of the aggressive policies that it adopts against Arab countries at a time when they are affirming their sincere desire to seek peace based upon justice. That bar- baric raid launched by Israeli aircraft over civilian areas in the Tunisian capital is a flagrant violation ‘of the sover- eignty of a Member State, a violation of its territorial integ- rity and airspace. That act constitutes a blatant aggression and a violation of the Charter of the United Nations as well as of the norms of international law which guarantee the peace and security of States. 68. Along with all peace-loving countries, we have repeatedly warned that Israel and its aggressive practices in defiance of international law represent a threat to the secu- rity and peace of the Middle East and of the entire world. Israel’s recent act of aggression and provocation against the capital of Tunisia gives ample proof of the pertinence of the warnings we have voiced in the Council and other international forums. 69. It is a matter for profound regret that Israel’s aggres- sive conduct should be supported and unfoundedly justified by the United States Administration, whose international responsibilities should impel it rather to support peace and justice and deter aggression anywhere in the world. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement condemning an act of aggression by Israel against Tunisia. It does not mention any specific economic, environmental, or technological issues. The focus is on the political and international relations aspect of the situation.
