    Baghdad/Al-Masala Event: The Iraqi political arena is witnessing intensive dialogues between Sunni forces regarding the election of a new Speaker of the House of Representatives, amid a frantic race to obtain positions and privileges. Information indicates that some Sunni parties are prepared to make major concessions in exchange for winning this sensitive position.
    Talks between Sunni forces are interspersed with position swaps, as the Progress Party, led by Mohammed al-Halbousi, appears willing to give up the position of parliament speaker on condition that it gets one of the ministries. The Ministry of Trade is currently under the Sovereignty bloc led by Khamis al-Khanjar, while the Azm bloc led by Muthanna al-Samarrai controls the Ministry of Education.
    Position swaps: Who deserves what?
    The negotiations include a key condition that the party or bloc seeking the speakership must give up the ministerial shares it has in the current government. This means that if the head of the Sovereignty Alliance, Khamis al-Khanjar, wants to become the speaker, he will have to give up the Ministry of Trade. Similarly, the head of the Azm Alliance, Muthanna al-Samarrai, will have to give up the Ministry of Education if he wants the same position.
    If al-Khanjar relinquishes the Ministry of Trade, he will have to nominate three names, one of whom will be chosen by al-Halbousi to be the speaker of parliament. This tactic reflects the complexities of the political game in Iraq, where alliances and deals remain central to determining the path of power and the division of influence.
    These dialogues clearly reflect internal conflicts between Sunni forces, with each party seeking to strengthen its position at the expense of the other. Halbousi, who has great influence within parliament, is using these conflicts to strengthen his position by imposing his conditions on al-Khanjar and al-Samarrai. In return, al-Khanjar seems to be trying to use his ministry as a bargaining chip to obtain the position of parliament speaker, which reflects the complexity and entanglement of political interests in Iraq.
    What makes the scene even more complicated is the common interests of some Sunni forces, but these interests may be an obstacle to achieving a comprehensive agreement due to their intense competition for positions. Alliances change quickly, and positions may shift based on the immediate interests of each party, making it difficult to predict the final results of these dialogues.
    If an agreement is reached between Halbousi, Khanjar, and Samarrai, we could see major changes in the distribution of ministerial positions and the balance of power within parliament. This agreement could contribute to strengthening the stability of the government or could lead to further divisions if the agreed terms are not fully implemented.
    The leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, Ahmed Fawaz Al-Issawi, reported that four Sunni alliances agreed to elect Salem Al-Issawi as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    As for the Shiite position on these Sunni dialogues and meetings, it remains neutral and waiting for the Sunnis to resolve the issue before intervening in it.
    MP for the Al-Fatah Alliance, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, confirmed that the Coordination Framework forces will not impose setting a date for the session to elect the Speaker of Parliament without the Sunni forces reaching an agreement.
