Baghdad/Al-Masala Event: In a move that raised many questions and controversy in the Iraqi political community, it was decided to move the Iraqi-American talks on ending the American presence from Baghdad to Washington. This move raises many doubts about the real goals behind this decision and its impact on the course of the negotiations.
Negotiating Environment: Baghdad vs. Washington
It is well known that negotiations conducted on home soil give the negotiator greater freedom to make decisions without being subjected to external pressures.In Baghdad, the Iraqi negotiator is in a familiar environment, surrounded by national and political support that can strengthen his negotiating position. In Washington, by contrast, the negotiator may be exposed to temptations and pressures aimed at changing the course of the negotiations in favor of the American side.
Transparency and integrity
Negotiations in Baghdad ensure a higher level of transparency and integrity, as it is difficult to implement things behind the scenes or offer bribes to negotiators. On the other hand, the presence of negotiators in Washington opens the door to the possibility of them being exposed to undeclared pressures or attempts to influence them in various ways.State of Law Coalition member Saad al-Mutalibi expressed his concerns that transferring the negotiations to Washington aims to offer temptations to the Iraqi negotiator to divert the course of the negotiations.
Strategic dimensions of transferring negotiations
Many analysts believe that moving the negotiations to Washington serves long-term American goals. It may be a kind of procrastination regarding the American withdrawal from Iraq, as the United States can use the time and space to impose new conditions or modify plans in line with its interests in the region.In addition, the presence of negotiations in Washington gives lobbies and countries hostile to Iraq an opportunity to intervene and influence the course of the negotiations.
The Iraqi negotiator and American temptations
Al-Mutalibi’s statements clearly indicate that moving the negotiations to Washington is a calculated American move to intimidate and besiege the ideas of the Iraqi negotiator. The idea here is that the Iraqi negotiator, far from his homeland, may be more susceptible to being influenced by the temptations offered to him, which may lead to making unjustified concessions or changes in negotiating positions.In light of the analyses, it becomes clear that transferring the Iraqi-American negotiations to Washington carries within it many hidden goals that may not serve Iraq’s interests.
Adherence to the principle that the party with the issue must negotiate with the occupier in his own country and not in the occupier’s country remains the best option to ensure the achievement of fair and balanced negotiation results.
Calls are directed to the Iraqi government to reconsider this decision and work to ensure a negotiating environment that achieves the interests of the Iraqi people, away from external pressures and temptations.
Al-Mutalibi continued, “The Americans are good at offering bribes and many temptations, as happened with the Iraqi negotiations with Kuwait,” noting that “the Iraqi government’s failure to disclose the names of the committees is a lack of transparency and a concealment of the facts.”
Today, US Ambassador Romansky announced the start of US-Iraqi talks in Washington to end the US presence in Iraq, amid Iraqi political warnings of the course of those negotiations deviating due to US pressure on the Iraqi delegation.
