An official source in Anbar province revealed on Wednesday a political deal struck between Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and American officials during his participation in the Sharm el-Sheikh summit. The deal stipulates the resolution of a number of sensitive disputed issues in exchange for American support for a second term.
The source told Al-Maalouma news agency, “Al-Sudani met with senior officials in the US administration on the sidelines of the summit and expressed his willingness to deal with three thorny issues, including: dissolving the Popular Mobilization Forces, ending the role of resistance factions, and easing relations with Iran, in addition to recognizing and supporting the two-state solution plan that includes recognizing Israel alongside Palestine.”
He added that “Al-Sudani made pledges to facilitate the entry of American companies to invest in Iraqi oil and gas fields, and to provide them with full security protection during the implementation of projects across all governorates.”
The source indicated that “Al-Sudani expressed his willingness to make extensive concessions on a number of internal and regional issues, as part of his quest to obtain direct American support to renew his government term,” stressing that “this political offer was made in exchange for remaining in power.”
