 Political gathering: The recent escalation in Iraq must accelerate the exit of the Americans

Baghdad Today - Nineveh

Today, Friday (January 5, 2024), Abbas Fadel, a leader in the networked gathering, called for an emergency parliamentary session of the Iraqi parliament.

Fadel told Baghdad Today that "the escalation represented by the bombing of a headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Baghdad must be an incentive to expel US forces and implement the decision issued by parliament in 2020."

He added that "what happened yesterday is no less serious than the airport incident, as the target party is an official body that orders the authority and the Iraqi state, so holding an emergency session of parliament to expedite a vote on the rapid exit of US forces, and the implementation of this decision by the government directly."

The American side claimed responsibility for the bombing of the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Baghdad, which killed a number of leaders, including the jihadist assistant of Harakat al-Nujaba, Abu Taqwa al-Saidi.
