  Al-Mandlawi: Iraq is making exceptional efforts to prevent the specter of a major war from looming over the region and the world

Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives Mohsen Al Mandalawi warned the international community against the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East region turning into a comprehensive war with a greater impact on global security and peace, while stressing that Iraq is making exceptional efforts to prevent the specter of a major war from the region and the world.

In his speech delivered today, Monday, during his participation in the (149) session of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva, Al-Mandlawi called for “the formation of an international parliamentary delegation to visit Lebanon and Palestine and investigate the facts about the extent of the Zionist terrorist attacks against civilians,” describing the events taking place as a “major challenge” to the global system and a real threat to international legitimacy, indicating that “the recent attack on the UN peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) is evidence of the extent of the arrogance of the occupation and its leaders, and has proven that this outcast entity is now outside the legal, humanitarian and international framework.”

Al-Mandlawi said, "International parliamentary bodies are facing a challenge and a test of the usefulness of their existence to express the aspirations of their peoples," calling on them to "take a clear and rapid position to spare the region and the world the dangers of slipping into a large and destructive war," calling on the presidency of the union and representatives of the participating parliaments to "condemn the Zionist practices and serious violations of the charters and legitimate resolutions, and take responsible action to stop the aggression against Palestine, Lebanon and the countries of the region, by demanding that the Security Council take the necessary decisions in this regard, hold the leaders of the entity accountable, prevent humanitarian disasters against civilians, provide urgent humanitarian aid and return the displaced."

He stressed the "necessity for the Union to adopt the signing of an international agreement that criminalizes the use of artificial intelligence technology as a weapon in wars, due to its deadly impact that exceeds the impact of nuclear weapons, and to pay attention to enhancing the parliamentary performance of the legislative bodies of member states and enabling them to perform their duties, in addition to taking the initiative to organize a responsible and serious humanitarian stand to intervene by all means in order to immediately stop the wars of genocide practiced by the Zionist entity, and to save the region and the world from its danger, effects and repercussions, and to exert efforts to raise the levels of cooperation between parliaments to exchange parliamentary expertise, and to emphasize the need to respect international humanitarian law and the rights of peoples to security and stability."

Al-Mandlawi explained that "Iraq is making exceptional parliamentary and governmental diplomatic efforts to prevent the specter of a comprehensive war from the region and the world, and that the Zionist entity is striving to ignite and expand this war by targeting diplomatic missions, leaders and symbols of countries within an aggressive methodology to control and impose wills and drag the region and the world into a comprehensive bloody war,"

 Indicating that "Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Iran are at the top of the list of targeted countries, while adding that announcing the name of the highest religious authority, Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, who is a symbol of peace and moderation in the world, within the list of the entity's targets, is nothing but evidence of its arrogance and its lack of consideration for human and heavenly values ​​and international legitimacy." link
