He showed that those who welcomed it and announced their intention to collect parliamentary signatures in this regard, and another who saw that severing diplomatic relations with different countries With it, it is not a solution, but it may make the situation more tense, stressing the need to support the government’s measures to support the Palestinian cause instead of bringing embarrassment to it.[/size]
[size=45]Earlier today, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on the federal government and parliament to vote on a decision to close the United States embassy in Iraq “in support” of the Palestinians.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr sent 4 messages[/size]
[size=45]In this regard, Safaa al-Baghdadi, a political affairs researcher close to the Sadrist line, says, “In Al-Sadr’s request to the government and parliament to vote on closing the American embassy in Iraq, there are four messages. The first is to the government and parliament, that they vote on closing the embassy, ​​and it will become clear who is defending it.” “Regarding public interests and rejecting the American occupation that supports Israel in killing innocent people in Palestine.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Baghdadi adds, “The second message is to the axis of resistance, represented by (Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq) to join what Al-Sadr proposed, which is closing the American embassy.”[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the third message, he mentioned, “Do not attack diplomatic personnel, nor attack them by the shameless militias that want to undermine the security and safety of Iraq.” As for the fourth message, it was to the Sadrist nation, about the necessity of commitment, obedience, and not acting individually, and avoiding the use of weapons at all, to prevent exploitation. “The matter is to achieve the militias’ shameless intentions.”[/size]
[size=45]The person close to the Sadrist line pointed out at the conclusion of his speech, “If the government and Parliament do not respond by closing the embassy, ​​Al-Sadr will have other words that will come at the right time.”[/size]
[size=45]In response to Al-Sadr's invitation[/size]
[size=45]Member of the Iraqi House of Representatives, Burhan Al-Mamouri, announced that he will launch a campaign to collect signatures in order to vote on a resolution under the dome of Parliament for the purpose of closing the American embassy in the capital, Baghdad, in response to the call of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Mamouri stated in a statement today, “Based on Al-Sadr’s request, we will launch a campaign to collect the signatures of our fellow MPs to close the American embassy.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, "We will call on the Presidency of Parliament to hold an extraordinary session in order to present a binding draft law for the purpose of closing the American embassy and to vote on it within the House of Representatives."[/size]
[size=45]“Supporting the government is better than embarrassing it.”[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the representative of the Al-Sadiqoun Bloc, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, says, “The Iraqi government had an honorable position on the Palestinian issue, and took measures in this regard, and this was clear in Iraq’s official speech regarding what was stated at the Arab Summit Conference, as well as what the House of Representatives did during Its extraordinary session was devoted to the Palestinian issue, as well as the position of Iraq, which called for holding a conference of Arab parliaments.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Baldawi adds, “In addition to the position of the highest religious authorities represented by Mr. Al-Sistani, and the rest of the authorities, and their honorable stance and call to support the Palestinian resistance, and that it is the only way to liberate the Holy Lands, in addition to the position of the Iraqi people who went out demonstrating in support of Al-Aqsa Flood and the Palestinian cause.”[/size]
[size=45]He continues, “But in exchange for this, there is silence and double dealing, whether from the Arab regimes or from the existing ruling regimes.”[/size]
[size=45]Regarding Al-Sadr’s call, he said, “Al-Sadr had a previous call to stand on the border, but it was not completed, due to the rush of part of the masses, so Al-Sadr postponed this call and issued a statement in this regard.”[/size]
[size=45]He asserts, “Based on this, we believe that moving forward with support for the government’s measures that it deems appropriate in supporting the Palestinian cause is better than embarrassing it and putting it in the position of a weak part or entity.”[/size]
[size=45]“Cutting ties harms Iraq first.”[/size]
[size=45]In turn, a member of the Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee, Amer Al-Fayez, explains that “countries that differ in their orientations and policies with Iraq do not mean severing diplomatic relations with them, and if there is wrong behavior by the United States and Iraq rejects it, it is possible to put more pressure on it if relations exist.” By cutting it, the effect is reduced, so we reject this approach.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fayer asserts, “The stability of countries comes through consolidating relations with countries, not severing them. This trend harms Iraq first before it harms the United States, and there are Iraqi interests in the United States, just as the latter has interests in Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]He concludes his speech by saying, “It is wrong to sever diplomatic relations with any country, not just with the United States, and if there is a dispute, it can be resolved through dialogue and discussions. It is better than severing relations, which may strain matters further, and the problem cannot be resolved then.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr had said in a post on the “X - Twitter” website previously, “I call on (the Iraqi government) and (the Iraqi parliament) with all its groups and orientations, for the first time and for the sake of public and not private interests, to vote on closing the American embassy in Iraq for unlimited American support.” For the Zionist terrorists against Gaza.”[/size]
[size=45]He stressed the need to “protect its (US Embassy) diplomatic personnel, and not be exposed to them by the shameless militias that want to undermine the security and safety of Iraq,” in the event of a vote on the resolution.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr also said, “If the government and parliament do not respond, we will have another position that we will announce later.”[/size]
[size=45]The Shiite leader called on the movement’s supporters to “commit to obedience, not to act individually, and to avoid using weapons at all.”[/size]
[size=45]The US Embassy in Baghdad announced in a statement a few days ago the departure of non-essential employees at the embassy and the US Consulate in Erbil, due to increasing security threats.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Thursday, the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, reported that its forces in Iraq were exposed to at least 12 attacks within a week, while confirming that it would respond to these attacks in a timely manner.[/size]
