Iraqi Parliament’s Move to Illegalize Normalization with Israel Example for Other Muslim Countries: Analyst
Emad Abshenas told ISNA news agency in an interview that all Muslim nations support the Palestinian nation and their rights.
Therefore, he added, what the Iraqi parliament did should be a model to follow for the parliaments of other Muslim and Arab nations.
He added that the Iraqi legislature’s move is praiseworthy.
Abshenas noted that a similar measure had also been taken by Algeria previously.
Earlier this week, the parliament of Iraq approved legislation prohibiting the country from ever normalizing relations with Israel.
The legislative assembly approved the bill on Thursday, amid an effort by various regional states to curry favor with the occupying regime.
“Approving the law is not only a victory for the Iraqi people but to the heroes in Palestine and [the resistance movement of] Hezbollah in Lebanon,” Iraqi Shia lawmaker Hassan Salim said.
Its passage solidified the Arab country's consistent and long-standing refusal to recognize the occupying regime.
In 2020, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed so-called “peace deals” with Israel that were mediated by the US. Sudan and Morocco, among others in the region, have followed suit.
Saudi Arabia, which had a visit from the regime’s former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November 2020, is another regional country that has been fraternizing with Israel.
