Stressing on the protection of the rights of the Palestinians, Iraqi president said: “We have no relations with the Zionist regime.”
In a speech announcing Baghdad’s commitment to defending the Palestinian cause, the Iraqi president stressed that “peace and tranquility in the region will not be possible without recognizing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
In a speech on Sunday evening, Iraqi President Barham Saleh denied any connection between Baghdad and the Zionist regime, Nass was quoted as saying.
“Iraq is committed to defending the Palestinian cause and the right of the people to self-determination,” Barham Saleh told Al Jazeera. “Peace and tranquility in the region is impossible without recognizing the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
“The issue of normalizing Iraq’s relations with the Israeli regime has not been raised by us at all,” the Iraqi president said in another part of his speech.
Barham Saleh also described the upcoming elections in Iraq as an important opportunity for the citizens of Iraq, saying, “There will undoubtedly be an alternative to elections, chaos.” Elections must be transparent and show the will of the people, and they must be able to create a strong government to exploit the wealth of Iraqis to serve them. “
The Iraqi president also called for a revision of the Iraqi constitution, resolving problems in the government apparatus, and moving toward structural reforms within the country.
At the end of his speech, he stressed that Iraq should be a bridge for its economic prosperity and that of other countries in the region, and not a center of war and conflict, stating, “I want a new political era.” At a time when Iraq has become a powerful country that supports its people and continues to work alongside its citizens and neighbors in security. “
