Iraq's Government Stands Firm Against Foreign Forces and Supports Palestine
In a recent interview, Representative Hussein Mu’nis, head of the Huqq Movement in Iraq, emphasized the government's commitment to protecting its citizens from the threats posed by ISIS. He stated that the departure of American and foreign forces from Iraq is an inevitable government decision, reflecting the will of the Iraqi people. Mu’nis criticized the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as a desperate act by Israel, indicating a shift in the dynamics of resistance, which has evolved from a 'revolution of stones' to a 'language of missiles'.
Unified Iraqi Stance on Palestinian Rights
Mu’nis highlighted the Iraqi parliament's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, dismissing any claims of political divisions regarding this issue. He reiterated that the Iraqi people's historical position aligns with their faith in supporting Palestine against what he termed 'Zionist arrogance'. The representative condemned some Arab nations for acting as protectors of Israel, while underscoring the importance of international recognition of Palestinian rights, as evidenced by growing global protests against Israel.
The Call for Withdrawal of Coalition Forces
The discussion around the presence of foreign coalition forces in Iraq remains a contentious issue. Mu’nis noted that the Iraqi parliament previously passed a resolution for their removal, reflecting a strong public sentiment against foreign military presence. He asserted that the coalition forces have become a burden, violating the Iraqi constitution and complicating the country's internal affairs. As negotiations continue between Baghdad and Washington, Mu’nis called for clear timelines for the withdrawal of these forces, emphasizing that the Iraqi government must align with the people's desire for sovereignty and security.
- In addition to his remarks on the foreign military presence, Mu’nis expressed concerns about the ongoing threat of ISIS, which he described as gangs incapable of holding territory but still posing significant risks to the Iraqi populace. He urged the government to intensify efforts to dismantle any remaining ISIS cells and ensure border security. Furthermore, he reassured the Iraqi people of their government's commitment to defending their rights and sovereignty against external pressures.
