 Iraq Vows Unwavering Support for Palestine Amid Ongoing Israeli Aggression, 15 OCT

In a resounding display of solidarity, Iraq pledged unwavering support for the Palestinian people in the face of the monstrous Israeli aggression currently plaguing occupied Palestine. Faleh Al-Fayyad, chairman of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), delivered a powerful statement on Saturday, emphasizing that Iraq will fulfill its obligations to the Palestinians on multiple fronts, including both humanitarian aid and military assistance.

Iraq: Main Pillar of Support for Palestinian Resistance and A Platform of Support, Not Harm

In a candid conversation with BNN, Al-Fayyad made a compelling case for Iraq’s role as a vital platform of support for the Palestinian cause. He declared, “The plans to displace the people of Gaza are unrealistic and cannot be implemented.” Al-Fayyad further asserted, “It is impossible for Iraq to be a gateway to inflict harm on Palestinians; it will be a platform to support them.”

“The Palestinian Resistance’s actions are all a reaction to the occupation’s crimes,” he added, highlighting the nature of the ongoing struggle against Israeli aggression. Importantly, he underscored the role of the United States as a key accomplice in the Israeli occupation’s crimes.

Al-Fayyad went on to pledge that Iraq would be the primary pillar of support for the Palestinian Resistance. He emphasized that Iraq would not permit the United States to lend its support to the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the Future of Normalization: Strong Statements from Iraqi Leadership

Reflecting on the results of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Al-Fayyad noted that the consequences of the events in the Gaza Strip are substantial and will soon become evident. He pointed out the potential impact, particularly in the context of normalization efforts.

The condemnation of the Israeli aggression came from the highest levels of Iraqi leadership. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, during a meeting with the Iraqi Coordination Framework’s forces, condemned the ongoing Zionist aggression and the direct targeting of civilians in the occupied territories.

The Secretary-General of Iraq’s resistance group Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, Qais Khazali, affirmed the group’s readiness to assist Palestine, offering both financial and moral support through demonstrations and protests. He even stated that his group is prepared to provide on-the-ground support if requested.

Iraq’s Warning to the United States: Israeli Aggression Continues

Earlier in the week, Iraq’s Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades issued a warning to the United States against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The group made it clear that Palestine should not be compared to other international conflicts, emphasizing that any U.S. interference on the side of Israel would make U.S. bases in the region targets for the Resistance.

The group stressed that any U.S. support for the Israeli entity would face retaliation without any red lines uncrossed.

In the midst of these developments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark threat to “change the Middle East” in the course of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. The Israeli military’s continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have resulted in an alarming number of casualties, with over 2,228 Palestinian martyrs and thousands injured.

Iraq’s Long-Standing Support for the Palestinian Cause

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Deputy Secretary-General Abu Ahmad Fouad, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen, highlighted the historical contribution of Iraq to the Palestinian cause. He noted the significant role that Iraq has played, even stating, “the cemetery of Iraqi martyrs in Jenin is testament to this.”

Fouad emphasized the enduring support of the Iraqi people for Palestine and their involvement in the ranks of the Palestinian Resistance. He highlighted the tangible reality of the Axis of Resistance today and the readiness of brothers in Yemen and Iraq to stand with Palestine whenever the need arises.

In Conclusion

In the face of the ongoing Israeli aggression, Iraq’s resolute support for the Palestinian people is a powerful testament to the enduring solidarity within the Axis of Resistance. The struggle continues, with the unwavering commitment of Iraq and other nations who stand with Palestine.
