A member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Hussein Al-Amiri, confirmed, on Saturday, the existence of a parliamentary consensus on implementing the decision to remove US forces from Iraq, calling on the Prime Minister to inform Parliament about the reasons for the American presence in Iraq.
Al-Amiri said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “The decision to remove the American forces from Iraq is binding on the government, as it was issued by Parliament during its fourth session, and it included the removal of all foreign forces.”
He added, “Most of the political forces within the House of Representatives agree to remove all foreign forces, led by the Americans, from Iraq,” noting that “the government is obligated to inform Parliament of the reasons for the presence of American forces and their military bases.”
A member of the Rights Movement, Hussein Jassim, had called in a previous interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani to abide by the House of Representatives’ decision to schedule the American withdrawal from Iraq, stressing that Iraq does not need any foreign military presence.
And the House of Representatives had voted early (May 2020) and unanimously on the decision to remove all foreign forces from Iraq, including the American ones.
