[size=52]Al-Halbousi is on leave awaiting the return of al-Sadr, and protests are expected on April 9[/size]

[size=45]- "Sovereignty" is close to suspending its presence in the legislative and executive authorities due to the "procrastination of the framework"
- Ismail Qaani in Baghdad 3 days ago.. What is he planning?[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The honeymoon months of the coordination framework are now threatened by the possibility of Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the movement, returning to the scene in conjunction with the movement of his former Sunni allies.[/size]
[size=45]And according to expectations of the launch of large-scale demonstrations next week on the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the former regime against a number of issues.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, a large Sunni coalition is close to boycotting the sessions of Parliament and the government because of the “procrastination of the framework” in implementing the government program related to the Sunnis.[/size]
[size=45]In response, the Shiite coalition reverted to hinting at the possibility of removing Muhammad al-Halbousi, Speaker of Parliament, from office and bringing his opponents closer.[/size]
[size=45]This comes as a high-ranking Iranian official tours the Shiite religious and political leaders within the new arrangements that followed the historic agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran.[/size]
[size=45]Social networking sites have been raging for two days with accusations about Jurf al-Sakhr, or "Victory", which is the name used by the Popular Mobilization Forces after 2014 against the town south of Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]Abu Turab al-Tamimi, one of the leaders of the Hashd, described in the post of Khamis al-Khanjar, the leader of the Sovereignty Coalition, as “Yazid al-Asr,” according to what he understood from the post.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Tamimi said, "We are waiting for the prayer of Yazid al-Asr in Jurf al-Nasr," in response to Khanjar's statement that provoked the Shiite forces regarding the city, which is described as a "puzzle."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Khanjar, who was considered close to Faleh al-Fayyad, was the leader of the crowd, according to statements by deputies from the "framework". He said that "soon they will arrive in Jurf al-Sakhar."[/size]
[size=45]The statements of the leader of the Sovereignty Coalition came as part of his talk about the implementation of the "government program", which he confirmed that he "obtained pledges from all political parties to include the requests of the Sunni forces."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Khanjar revealed, in a video statement, about "a close meeting he will have with Prime Minister Muhammad Al-Sudani in order to approve the general amnesty," stressing: "The law will be applied before the Eid," referring to the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr.[/size]
[size=45]He revealed that among the pledges he obtained from the political forces before forming the government were related to "an amnesty, the return of the residents of Jurf al-Sakhr, and the dissolution of the militias."[/size]
[size=45]The ambiguous situation of Khamis al-Khanjar does not lag behind the town of Jurf al-Sakhar, liberated since 2014, and its residents have not yet returned. The former is considered close to the most radical Shiite forces, on the other hand, he is often accused of working with ISIS.[/size]
[size=45]In a previous television interview, Alia Nassif, the representative of the "frame" within Nuri al-Maliki's coalition, said that "Faleh al-Fayyad - the head of the crowd - is the one who settled the dagger's issues and returned it to Iraq."[/size]
[size=45]The dagger appeared for the first time after the spread of ISIS, before the 2018 elections, when he was forced at that time, according to what was leaked, to withdraw his candidacy for the legislative elections at the time.[/size]
[size=45]After a long labor to form the government, which was then headed by Adel Abdul-Mahdi, Al-Khanjar sat at the negotiating table alongside Al-Maliki and was known at the time as the “Al-Binaa Alliance”, which included the Shiites - with the exception of Al-Sadr - and the Sunnis.[/size]
[size=45]Yusuf al-Kilabi, the deputy who recently returned from the row of losers to the seats in Parliament by a judicial decision, recalled how the Shiite forces viewed the dagger.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Kalabi, a former leader in the crowd, said on his Facebook page: "In 2018, I was the one who stood against you and your return to politics."[/size]
[size=45]And the deputy added, in response to the recent statements of the Sovereign Leader: “I was convinced that people like you do not grow favors or forgiveness.”[/size]
[size=45]Boycott and protests[/size]
[size=45]Members of the "framework" seemed provoked by al-Khanjar's words because of news of a parliamentary and governmental boycott of the coalition consisting of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi and al-Khanjar, which includes more than 60 deputies.[/size]
[size=45]A senior Sunni leader said in a statement to (Al-Mada) that "Muhammad al-Halbousi, Speaker of Parliament, is pressing in all directions to achieve the demands of the Sunnis, while his opponents are doing the opposite."[/size]
[size=45]"If these pressures fail, the Sovereignty Alliance will boycott the parliament and government sessions," added the leader, who asked not to be identified.[/size]
[size=45]The Sovereignty Alliance owns 3 ministries in the government, namely: planning, industry, and trade, while it was expected that Al-Khanjar would get the position of Vice President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]The Sunni leader predicted that the movement of sovereignty "will coincide with large demonstrations on the 9th of April against the election law and mismanagement of the state, in which there will be a public return of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr."[/size]
[size=45]And the leader continues: "There will be participation from al-Sadr's fans in the protests, and the Speaker of Parliament is on vacation to distance himself from what will happen."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Halbousi had given himself a 15-day leave at a time when parliament was close to discussing the budget law, which has been stalled for weeks in his office.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the circles of Muqtada al-Sadr hint at the possibility of the movement's leader returning to political activity, although there are no official statements to that effect yet.[/size]
[size=45]And the directive to ban travel to 8 leaders, which was recently issued by Al-Sadr to officials in his office, was considered the beginning of an expected movement from the movement.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Attar visit[/size]
[size=45]Ismail Qaani, commander of the Iranian Quds Force, who has been visiting Iraq for 3 days, plans to meet the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, in addition to the supreme authority, Ali al-Sistani.[/size]
[size=45]Political sources close to the coordination framework said in an interview with (Al-Mada) that "Every time Qaani visits Iraq, he meets with all Shiite political and religious leaders, including Sistani and Al-Sadr."[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the movement had announced only once, in February 2022, his meeting with Qaani, and after that al-Sadr returned to declaring the “political majority” and that his approach was “neither Eastern nor Western,” in a sign that was understood at the time by the failure of the meeting that took place at a time when the Shiite forces were facing a severe division over the formation of the government.[/size]
[size=45]On the reasons for Qaani's presence in Baghdad, the sources confirm that part of his visit is to offer condolences on the death of Sadiq al-Hakim, the son of the leader of the Supreme Council, Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim, who was assassinated in 2003.[/size]
[size=45]And she added, "The visit is the first to Iraq after the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and there are new cards in the region that must be rearranged, including the situation in Syria."[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the position of the Shiite coalition on al-Halbousi, sources close to the "framework" say that "the Shiite leaders do not want to keep al-Halbousi in his position, but the latter has a skill that the rest of the Sunni leaders lack."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Halbousi, as described by observers, previously implicated the Shiite alliance by voting for him last year after he decided to resign from the presidency of Parliament and its rejection of the coordination framework by the majority of Shiite representatives.[/size]
[size=45]The sources believe that "Al-Halbousi is supported regionally and internationally, and that the 15-day leave during which he will tour those countries to mobilize support."[/size]
[size=45]The sources added that "the Shiite leaders are trying to bring opponents closer to overthrow or threaten al-Halbousi," referring to Rafie al-Issawi, the former deputy prime minister, who met last week for the first time with Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani.[/size]
[size=45]Last year, it was reported that Nuri al-Maliki was mediating to return al-Issawi to Iraq and settle his legal status.[/size]
[size=45]In addition, a member of the Wisdom Movement, Rahim Al-Aboudi, said that what is happening is a “Sunni-Sunni conflict, not a Sunni-Shiite one,” considering Al-Halbousi’s approval “among the pressures for the latter to remain in the presidency of Parliament and control the Sunni decision.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Aboudi added in an interview with (Al-Mada) that "there is an internal Sunni conflict that was clear before the formation of the government," noting that "the coordination framework is keen on political stability."[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "The Shiite forces had suffered last year from the harbingers of forming a government and wanted to repeat this scenario," noting that "the achievements of the Sudanese government appeared in an atmosphere of stability."[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the pledges made to the Sunni forces, Al-Aboudi says: "The government is committed to the ministerial program, and there is a priority in implementing those provisions."[/size]
[size=45]A member of the Wisdom Movement led by Ammar al-Hakim considered that there is confusion from "external parties that do not want stability for the country, and they are behind media campaigns about the existence of upcoming protests."[/size]
