Al-Mandalawi: US Congress' draft against the head of the judiciary is a dangerous precedent and a violation of Iraq's sovereignty

Baghdad-INA
Acting Speaker of Parliament , Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, confirmed on Saturday, that the US Congress’ draft against the head of the judiciary is considered a dangerous precedent and affects Iraq’s sovereignty.

A statement by the media office of the Speaker of Parliament on behalf of Al-Mandalawi was quoted as saying - received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “What was reported by American media regarding the submission by Republican Congressman Mike Waltz of a draft law amendment and its inclusion of a clause affecting the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zidan, is a dangerous precedent this is added to the record of the actions of the Biden government, which openly supported the most horrific mass massacre committed by Zionist gangs against the people of Gaza, and today it threatens to attack the sovereignty of states and their symbols without a legal justification that allows it to do so."

According to the statement, Al-Mandalawi called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to “move through its diplomatic means and deliver a direct message of Iraq’s rejection, with all its authorities, of such offensive interventions, which came from the American Congressman, describing them as tools of influence for other countries,” stressing that “Iraq is a country with Sovereignty, and its relations with all countries are built on the basis of mutual respect."

Al-Mandalawi stressed, “The draft law to be submitted to Congress by the Republican representative, and if approved, will constitute a dangerous turning point that will affect, in one way or another, the nature of bilateral relations between the two countries."

Al-Mandalawi affirmed, “Parliament full support for the head of the judiciary and its absolute rejection of any abuse of his authority and all authorities,” stressing, “the Council Presidency’s keenness to follow up on these illegal acts and take everything necessary to reject them."
