Barzani Addresses the Middle East Peace and Security Forum

During a panel discussion at the Peace and Security Forum in the Middle East, KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, expressed his apprehensions about the timing of the removal of Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi. Labeling it as ‘inappropriate,’ Barzani highlighted the potential implications this could have on the political equilibrium within Iraq.

Concerns Over the Israel-Hamas Conflict

Barzani also conveyed his concerns about the plight of civilians embroiled in the ongoing Gaza conflicts. He strongly condemned attacks on innocent individuals and underscored the urgency of ending the Israel-Hamas conflict. Barzani also advised Iraq to remain uninvolved in the conflict, a stance reflective of his commitment to preserving regional stability.

Barzani’s Stance on the Removal of Mohammed al-Halbousi

Regarding the removal of Mohammed al-Halbousi from the parliamentary speakership, Barzani refrained from commenting on the Federal Court’s decision. However, he described the timing of the dismissal as ‘wrong,’ a statement that underscores his nuanced understanding of the delicate political dynamics in Iraq. His refusal to comment on the Federal Court’s ruling indicates his deliberate attempt to maintain a diplomatic stance in this politically charged scenario.
