Al-Okaili said in a televised statement, followed by "Al-Akhbaria", that "all hypotheses indicate that the country has returned to square one after the next prime minister could not be chosen." Al-Okaili added that "President of the Republic Barham Saleh will not delegate a prime minister without recourse to consensus," noting that "the escalation of the street will not threaten political blocs and the only offense is the street itself." He continued, "The Construction Alliance called on the President of the Republic to wait to choose the Prime Minister to reach the final consensus," noting that "there are political forces benefiting from the collision on the street." http://www.ikhnews.com/index.php?page=article&id=208126

  6. To fully discuss America's relations with Iraq ... and a possible role for NATO January 29, 2020 The United States hopes to discuss the full strategic framework for its relationship with Iraq soon, while the mystery surrounding the fate of the military mission there remains after a strike by a drone plane killed a senior Iranian military commander, James Jeffrey said on Wednesday. The Iraqi parliament voted in favor of a request to withdraw the 5,000-strong US forces after the January 3 strike on a US airliner in Baghdad that killed an Iranian general, Qasim Soleimani, and an Iraqi leader from a powerful pro-Iranian armed faction. Washington suspended some of the activities of its military forces in Iraq, which were invited there again in 2014 as part of a mission to fight ISIS, and three years after its withdrawal. "We are looking forward to sitting down and having extensive discussions with the government on the full strategic framework for relations in the near future," Jeffrey told Reuters. He stated that the US-led coalition operations are still stalled in Iraq at a time when the focus is on protecting the forces and talks with the Baghdad government on the way forward. Iraq is an ally of the United States and Iran and has had to carefully balance its relations with them at a time of escalating tension between the two countries. Iraq has seen in recent months demonstrations protesting the influence of the two countries. US President Donald Trump angrily responded to Baghdad's request to withdraw US forces from Iraq and even threatened sanctions if the forces were forced to withdraw. Trump met Iraqi President Barham Salih on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week. Jeffrey said the United States supports the possibility of NATO playing a role in Iraq and Syria in the future. When asked about the timeframe of the talks with the Iraqi government, he added, "Nobody is rushing anything ... We are very interested in the NATO process through which he will see what additional role he can play." He added that the last week had not witnessed a rise in ISIS activities in Iraq or Syria, but the activities are still at a worrying level. https://www.alhurra.com/a/بحث-علاقات-أميركا-والعراق-بشكل-كامل-ودور-محتمل-للناتو/531550.html
  7. Broad agreement on a candidate for prime minister of Iraq .. And Maliki objects January 29, 2020 The Iraqi Parliament Sources for Al-Hurra reported that Iraqi party leaders and parliamentarians agreed on Wednesday to nominate former Minister of Communications Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi for the post of prime minister. Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi The sources indicated the approval of the leader of the "Saeron" coalition, Muqtada Al-Sadr, the leader of the Al-Fath coalition, Hadi al-Amiri, former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and the head of the al-Hikma Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, to nominate Allawi to succeed Adel Abdul-Mahdi. The sources revealed that Allawi's selection to head the government has been met by a reservation by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and head of the State of Law coalition. The sources indicated that if the discussions took place in a positive manner, it is possible to announce the name of the candidate officially before the deadline set by the President of the Republic expires on Friday evening. The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, had given three days to the political blocs to nominate a new prime minister to succeed Adel Abdul Mahdi, who resigned last month. "If the concerned blocs fail to resolve the nomination order no later than the first Saturday of February, I see an obligation to exercise my constitutional powers by assigning those whom I find most acceptable to parliament and people," Saleh said in a letter to the parliamentary blocs Wednesday. The Iraqi president’s move comes after the failure of the main Shiite blocs in the Iraqi parliament to agree on a candidate who has been accepted by the rising street since October 1 to demand early elections and the enactment of a new electoral law, the naming of a prime minister, and accountability for those responsible for the bloodshed of demonstrators and the trial of corrupt people. Abdel-Mahdi submitted his resignation last December, after two months of anti-government protests that witnessed bloody violence that killed more than 500 people and wounded about 25 thousand wounded. In the natural case, the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the largest parliamentary bloc be nominated as a candidate for prime minister, within 15 days of the legislative elections, and then the President of the Republic shall assign the Prime Minister to form his government within one month. On December 20, the supreme Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, called for the formation of a new "non-controversial" government capable of holding early elections "away from the power of arms and external interference." https://www.alhurra.com/a/توافق-واسع-على-مرشح-لرئاسة-وزراء-العراق-والمالكي-يعترض/531585.html
  8. The US House of Representatives votes to end the mandate to use force in Iraq January 30, 2020 On Thursday, the US House of Representatives votes on a bill that would end the mandate to use force in Iraq, which was passed in 2002 to give the legislative mandate to the United States to launch the Iraq war in 2003. In his Twitter tweet, US President Donald Trump urged members of the House of Representatives to "vote with their hearts" on that legislation, adding that the United States is reducing its presence in Iraq until the number of its soldiers there has reached only five thousand. On the other hand, Trump threatened that he would use the veto against any legislation supported by the Democrats that would restrict his military options against Iran. 38 people are talking about this In separate statements to the White House, sources said that the president may veto both decisions related to ending the 2002 law on the use of force in Iraq and the law restricting military options against Iran. The decision to use force in Iraq gives the president broad powers and freedom to act in response to any threats inside Iraq and the threats that Iran makes against the United States and its allies in the region through its hubs in Iraq. The US administration had justified the beginning of this month of its use of a drone to target Qasim Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in Baghdad as coming within the mandate approved in 2002 and confirmed that canceling that mandate will "strengthen the enemies" of the United States. https://www.alhurra.com/a/مجلس-النواب-الأميركي-يصوت-على-تفويض-استخدام-القوة-بالعراق/531599.html

" He continued, "The non-state power was the reason for inviting the world to help Iraq from ISIS, but the non-state authority government failed to define the rules of engagement, and the US-led coalition forces helped eliminate ISIS, and what brings us back to memory is the position of some of the figures who danced in joy at the time of the occupation.

  14. US halts weapons deliveries to Iraq amid tensions with Baghdad The United States stopped all weapons deliveries to Iraq in the midst of the growing tensions with the government in Baghdad, the US-based Inside Defense news site reported. The freeze includes halting supplies for the new F-16 fleet, the report said on Monday citing Air Force spokesperson Brian Brackens.

Washington has threatened that it will impose sanctions on Iraq if the US forces are expelled.

  17. Trump plan calls for Palestinian state with capital in eastern Jerusalem WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled a long-awaited Middle East peace plan that broadly favored Israel, as expected, but also defied expectations by offering the Palestinian people a path to statehood. Trump proposed a Palestinian state double the size of the existing Palestinian territories, with East Jerusalem as its capital and a US Embassy there; high-speed rail links between Palestinian areas and a tunnel linking the West Bank and Gaza; a four-year ban on Israeli settlement building on land earmarked for a Palestinian state; $50 billion in economic aid; and continued oversight by Jordan of Al-Aqsa mosque compound. However, major Israeli settlements would remain, puncturing large parts of Palestine, Israel would take control of the whole Jordan Valley, and the refugee issue must be “settled outside Israel.” Read the full report here: Middle East peace plan Trump unveiled his plan at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, before an audience comprising mostly supporters of Israel but also including ambassadors from the UAE, Bahrain and Oman. OPINION Abdulrahman Al-Rashed Palestinians will lose out by rejecting peace talks READ ARTICLE He admitted the plan was good for Israel, but said it also had to benefit the Palestinians “otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.” “I am saddened by the fate of the Palestinian people. They deserve a far better life,” he said. Spotlight: Trump’s Middle East plan forges unexpected unity in Palestinian ranks Trump said his plan would end “Palestinian dependency on charity and foreign aid. We will help the Palestinians to thrive on their own. The Palestinians will be able to seize the future … We are asking them to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence.” Trump said Palestinians must adopt basic laws enshrining human rights, end corruption and disarm Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. He said Israel would work closely with Jordan to preserve the status quo of Al-Aqsa mosque compound. Trump said he had written to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas “explaining the territory allocated for his new state.” “It will become a wonderful Palestinian state,” he said. “President Abbas, I want you to know, if you chose the path to peace, America will be there … every step of the way. We will be there to help.” However, Abbas immediately rejected the plan on Tuesday night. Visibly angry on Palestinian TV, he said: “No, a thousand times no.” That the plan was based on a unified Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel is “enough for us to reject it,” he said. Husam Zumlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, told Arab News: “There are 13 million Palestinians in Palestine and the world, and the very fact that the American administration couldn’t find a single Palestinian to appear in that White House room says volumes about the one sidedness of the deal.” In Lebanon, the Fatah movement called for a “day of rage” to resist the deal. *Daoud Kuttab reported from Amman and Najia Houssari from Beirut https://www.arabnews.com/node/1619441/middle-east
