Tishwash: Al-Hikma: Al-Sudani’s government adopted 3 paths in dealing with Middle East tensions
Hikma Movement leader Furat Al-Tamimi confirmed today, Monday (November 11, 2024), that Al-Sudani’s government has adopted 3 paths in dealing with Middle East tensions.
Al-Tamimi said in an interview with Baghdad Today, “The tensions in the Middle East cannot be contained without stopping the bloodshed in Palestine and Lebanon by the Zionist entity, which is practicing arrogance and horrific crimes against civilians, and statistics reveal to us rivers of blood that bleed every day due to the bombing of neighborhoods, villages and towns.”
He added that “Al-Sudani and most of the political forces tried to stay away from involvement in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, but they provided great humanitarian and relief support to our brothers in Palestine and Lebanon, which focused in its content on the call of the religious authority through the dispatch of relief convoys by land and air.”
He pointed out that “Al-Sudani and his government adopted a policy of neutrality as a working method for the ministerial cabinet in dealing with the conflict, but in return we do not rule out that Baghdad will be targeted by the Zionist entity, so the Foreign Ministry must move and invest its relations with the White House to deter any attempt in this direction because any aggression against Iraq will have major consequences and will push the region towards more tensions, considering what is happening now in Palestine and Lebanon as crimes of genocide, and this is the opinion of all countries of the world without exception.”
Iraq played a decisive role in calming tensions in the region, and affirmed its continued support for efforts to find political solutions to the conflict that has been raging in the Middle East for more than a year since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza in October 2023.
The escalation in the region escalated as the Israeli army launched an open war on Lebanon, including air strikes and a ground attack on the south of the country, since early October 2024.
The situation has also seriously deteriorated with Iran and Israel exchanging unprecedented air strikes last month targeting military sites in both countries, raising tensions to new and dangerous levels, amid an exchange of threats of retaliation and counter-retaliation and expanding the scope of the war to include the entire region.
