The Victory Alliance, led by former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, called on Wednesday for addressing the government leadership crisis with “rationality and responsibility “.
The coalition said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that it affirms its “commitment to the Iraqi national decision, in a way that guarantees the interests of the country and the citizens, and that strengthens the support of all segments of the people for it .”
The statement called on all national forces to “prioritize the public interest, consolidate stability, and address crises rationally and responsibly, in a manner commensurate with the magnitude of the difficult challenges facing our country and our people .”
The Islamic Dawa Party had warned earlier on Wednesday that the Coordination Framework was opening a “loophole” in its decision that could drag the country into further complications, while recalling the days of bombings and assassinations, in response to US President Donald Trump’s statement rejecting Nouri al-Maliki’s nomination for the premiership .
Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law Coalition, also announced his categorical rejection of US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding his nomination for the Iraqi premiership, stressing that he will continue to run based on the decision of the Coordination Framework .
Earlier on Wednesday, the Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement called on Iraqi political forces to unify the national decision and prioritize the national interest in order to confront all internal and external challenges and difficulties, following statements by US President Donald Trump regarding Nouri al-Maliki, the candidate of the coordination framework for forming the next government.
This stance comes amid escalating domestic political reactions to US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the nomination of Maliki to head the next government .
Trump said Tuesday evening, in a post on the Truth Social platform, that the return of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to the premiership is “something that should not be allowed,” considering that Iraq “slid into poverty and chaos” during his previous term .
Trump added that the United States would stop providing aid to Iraq if Maliki were re-elected, warning that this would undermine Iraq’s chances of “success, prosperity, or freedom,” and concluded his post by saying: “Let’s make Iraq great again .”
The Shiite Coordination Framework announced last Saturday evening, January 24, its nomination of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to head the next government .
