[size=52]The "Coordination" catches a breath after the "Sadr prayer", and the fate of Al-Maliki is determined hours later[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The "coordinating framework" is trying to escape forward by requesting a session to choose the president of the republic, while the differences are still deeply rooted in the Shiite bloc.[/size]
[size=45]What were considered the conditions of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, in the prayer held by the supporters of the Sadrist movement in Baghdad, increased the fears of the "opposition" team within the "coordinating framework."[/size]
[size=45]And this team - which represents almost all the wings of the coordination framework, with the exception of Al-Maliki's team - pushes not to "provoke Al-Sadr" and choose a "non-controversial" prime minister.[/size]
[size=45]In a statement delivered by a representative of the Sadrist movement, the leader of the Sadrist movement demanded that his audience described it as a "million" prayer to "account the corrupt" and "restructure the crowd."[/size]
[size=45]The "Coordination" is facing severe pressure due to the continuing differences within the coalition, and the implicit messages of "Al-Sadr", in addition to the rise of Mustafa Al-Kazemi, the prime minister.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Al-Kazemi and the President of the United States of America came out in a joint statement at the Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) summit on the need to form a government that represents "the will of the Iraqi people."[/size]
[size=45]After a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the conference, the two leaders stressed their “mutual commitment to the strong bilateral partnership between Iraq and the United States, in accordance with the Strategic Framework Agreement, and their determination to proceed with security coordination; To ensure that ISIS does not return again.”[/size]
[size=45]The statement added, according to what was reported by the Prime Minister's Office: «The two parties stressed the importance of forming a new Iraqi government that responds to the will of the Iraqi people, and respects Iraq's democracy and independence; Where President Joseph Biden emphasized the importance attached to the United States; The existence of a stable, united, prosperous and sovereign Iraq, including the Kurdistan region.[/size]
[size=45]Parties in the "coordinating framework", namely Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, led by Qais al-Khazali in particular, had objected to "Al-Kazemi's" going to Saudi Arabia, on the pretext that the conference aimed at normalization with Israel.[/size]
[size=45]According to informed sources within the "Coordination Committee", "Some wings within the Shiite bloc fear that Al-Kazemi's balance will rise, which will enhance his chances of obtaining a second term."[/size]
[size=45]Earlier, (Al-Mada) revealed messages that reached the "Coordination Committee" from Saudi Arabia and other countries that it "will not deal with a prime minister coming from the framework."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Kazemi had arrived in Jeddah last Friday, and then announced the signing of the electrical connection with the Gulf countries, which will provide energy to Iraq at cheap prices.[/size]
[size=45]According to the memorandum of understanding between the two parties, a link will be made between Arar on the border with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Yusufiya, south of Baghdad, with a capacity of "1,000 megawatts" and a voltage of "400 kilovolts" with a length of about 435 km.[/size]
[size=45]Until this moment, the "coordinating framework" is still divided over the form of the government and the identity of the next prime minister, despite his recent call for Parliament to hold a session to choose the president of the republic.[/size]
[size=45]According to the constitution, the elected president of the republic shall, within 15 days from the date of his election, assign the candidate of the largest bloc to form the government within one month.[/size]
[size=45]According to (Al-Mada) sources, "it is likely that the next session will be set in the middle or after the middle of this week," and most estimates indicate that it "will be on July 20 (next Wednesday)."[/size]
[size=45]It requires, according to the latest interpretation of the Federal Court, a quorum of at least two-thirds of parliament members (220 deputies) to choose the President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]The coordinating framework with its allies from the Sunni forces (Azm Alliance), the Kurdish (the Patriotic Union) and the Christian representatives (Babylon) have between 170 to 180 at the highest rate.[/size]
[size=45]The last statement issued by the "Coordination Council" about the request to hold a session on "choosing the president" revealed that the differences over the positions continued.[/size]
[size=45]The statement confirmed that it "has approved its permanent convening (the coordination framework) in an open and continuous session to choose the prime minister during the next few days, according to the mechanisms established by the framework for this."[/size]
[size=45]Commenting on this, Naim al-Aboudi, a leader in "Asaib" - one of the framework's formations - said in a tweet last Friday: "Things are moving towards a resolution within 48 hours about the prime minister's personality."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Aboudi added after the last meeting that: "The atmosphere that accompanied the coordination framework meeting today was positive."[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "What is required is that the next government not be a controversial government, and that it represents all the aspirations of Iraqis."[/size]
[size=45]According to the informed sources, "the coordinating framework caught its breath after the Friday prayer called for by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, as he (the framework) was afraid of his supporters moving to the street and demonstrating against him."[/size]
[size=45]The source added that: "Most of the coordination parties, with the exception of the State of Law coalition and some of its supporters within the Shiite bloc, demand that the personality of the next prime minister be non-controversial."[/size]
[size=45]According to the sources, "the use of a non-controversial government reformer means that Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of a coalition of state law, abandons his ambition for a third term in order to avoid angering the Sadrists."[/size]
[size=45]It is believed, according to the sources, that Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, announced his withdrawal from forming the government, because of those differences.[/size]
[size=45]There is ambiguity so far in Al-Amiri's position, as the latter's circles indicate that the coalition will remain a participant in the government, with the exception of the coalition leader.[/size]
[size=45]The attack on al-Maliki.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had given hints at the united prayer that took place last Friday in Sadr City, east of Baghdad, about Maliki's refusal to head the government, through his words about the "tempter" and the events that accompanied the emergence of ISIS in 2014.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr said in a speech delivered in his place by Mahmoud Al-Jiashi, which included 11 conditions that the leader of the current set before his opponents if they wanted to form a government: “We all heard that the experimenter is not tempted, and we referred to it as (Al-Shala’ is uprooted), so do not return the experimenter, for it continues with him. We do not want the old tragedy to be repeated, the homeland to be lost and the repetition of the Speicher and Saqlawiya crime and many other suspicious deals and the continuation of the suffering of the people.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr also called on the Shiite political blocs to repent to God and to try their corrupt members before the judiciary. He added: “The supreme religious authority in Najaf has closed its doors to all politicians without exception, and this in itself is an insult to Shiite politicians in particular. Therefore, I ask them to seek forgiveness from God first, and secondly to the reference.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr explained that "most of those who oppose forming the government are not convinced that patriotism is part of faith, and their orientations have become foreign, and I ask them to put patriotism ahead of anything else and to treat other countries reciprocally diplomatically, socially and economically."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr, on the other hand, attacked the "undisciplined elements" - according to his description - within the popular crowd, adding: "It is not possible to form a strong Iraqi government with the presence of uncontrolled weapons and uncontrolled militias, so they must dissolve all the factions," stressing that "the crowd must be reorganized and arranged and liquidated." His body is made of uncontrolled elements.”[/size]
[size=45]These requirements came a day after the leader of the Sadrist movement called on his supporters not to care about what was said to be leaks from a previous meeting of "Al-Maliki" in which he attacked "Al-Sadr" and the Sunni and Kurdish forces.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr said in a tweet to his fans: "Do not worry about leaks, as we do not give them any weight."[/size]
[size=45]The leaks, which are audio recordings attributed to the owners, have been published so far in 3 parts, while whoever leaked these recordings says that he has other parts of an hour-long meeting, which will be published gradually.[/size]
[size=45]It is believed that Ali Fadel, an activist in the days of the October protests, is behind these leaks, in which the leader of the State of Law coalition speaks harsh descriptions against “Al-Sadr” and his supporters.[/size]
[size=45]In these leaks, he reveals al-Maliki's relationship with Tehran, and his quest to transform the Popular Mobilization Forces into a similarity to the Iranian "Revolutionary Guard".[/size]
