A report by the American magazine National Interest confirmed that the United States does not seem serious about the fact of its withdrawal from Iraq, despite the decline in its popularity in the Middle East region to its lowest levels as a result of its support for the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
The report, translated by the Maalouma Agency, stated that “Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani had previously called for a “quick and orderly exit through negotiation” of the US-led coalition forces from the country, and according to Al-Sudani, the presence of the remaining 2,500 forces A soldier who is more trouble than he is worth, and he fears that their continued situation in Iraq will lead to destabilization, due to American support for the Israeli military blockade of Gaza.
The report added, “It is not reasonable for policymakers in Washington to withdraw at this time after its forces were exposed to fire and suffered casualties, especially in the context of the war in Gaza, and Israel and other American partners may feel more vulnerable to danger.”
Researcher and professor of Middle East affairs Joshua Landis from the University of Oklahoma said, “The Biden administration will try to remain in Iraq while making minor amendments to its agreement with the Iraqi government, and I believe that Biden will not want to withdraw, and certainly not before the elections next November.”
The report indicated that “Biden will try to keep the situation as it is in order to maintain his acceptance rate in the upcoming elections, and any move towards withdrawal will make him meet the same fate as former President Jimmy Carter, who cost him the presidency in favor of the then Republican candidate Ronald Reagan.”
The report pointed out that “the most clear results will come from Biden’s move to either keep, withdraw, or reduce the size of American forces from Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, but not at the present time, which represents a critical time for him before the upcoming elections, which means that Washington is not serious about… Allegations of withdrawal from Iraq.
