Talk:Middle East Treaty Organization

When founded?
When was METO founded?

This article claims it was founded in 2017, but I cannot find documentation of that. Worse, I found an interview with Sharon Dolev 2017-12-26, which mentions the Israeli Disarmament Movement as part of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN):

ICAN won the Nobel Peace Prize earlier that year, but this article does NOT mention METO

I would naively think that if METO had been founded before the end of 2017, it would have been mentioned in that article.

 * An interview with Dolev published 2017-12-25 does NOT mention METO:
 * They may have been made the decisions to create such an organization in 2017, but I've so far been unable to find documentation supporting such a claim.

 * I just found a reference claiming it was founded in 2014:
 * However, that article also says, "Between 2019 and 2021, the [civil society group pushing for a WMD free Middle East treaty] was institutionalised under the name of the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO)".
 * I shall ask METO. DavidMCEddy (talk) 21:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
