The First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Mohsen Mandlawi, confirmed that the complaint submitted by the Zionist terrorist entity to the Security Council against Iraq and the diplomatic and media pressures that followed on Baghdad, leading to talk of an Israeli military strike, coincided with the diplomatic efforts of the Iraqi parliament and government in regional and international forums to stop the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. These are merely attempts to continue the killing and destruction in the region and evidence of the brutality of this entity and its thirst for blood.
In a statement today, Thursday, AL- Mandlawi said: The Israeli occupation does not respect any decisions of the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly, and its perpetration of genocide, displacement, and siege is a testament to its hypocrisy. At the same time, he held Washington responsible for any Zionist folly in expanding aggression in the region after using the veto power against the Security Council's decision to immediately stop the war. He also stated that Iraq's position will never change in standing by Gaza and Lebanon, concluding by saying that a people raised on "Hayhat Minna Al-Dhilla" will not be frightened or deterred by a criminal and terrorist entity.
