Al-Zaidi threatens resignation over PMF discord
The article concerns the tension within the Iraqi government and the factions of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) regarding the response to Saudi Arabia's targeting of PMF sites last July, which resulted in 20 deaths and 32 injuries. Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi rejected any military escalation with Saudi Arabia, calling for control over the armed factions' movements and urging them not to act unilaterally. This has led to tension and uncertainty about his stance on resignation, especially after escalating disputes with PMF leaders and concerning support from the United States. Political considerations indicate that Al-Zaydi's position remains delicate, and his resignation is viewed as potentially damaging to the Iraqi political landscape, with emphasis on the fact that his leadership is seen as pivotal in the upcoming phase under U.S. sponsorship.
