The ceasefire in Gaza is a welcome step, although it came late and resulted in more casualties and destruction.
We hope the ceasefire agreement will be stable and not fragile, and that food aid will be allowed into Gaza immediately.
Iraq, along with regional and international efforts, sought to stop this war, while Netanyahu aimed to prolong it for internal political reasons or to entangle the region in a full-scale war.
It is time for everyone to realize that the genocide must stop, efforts should be made to rebuild Gaza, and there is no peaceful solution except through direct dialogue with the Palestinians and ensuring their rights.
The war was systematic and targeted innocents, with the number of victims exceeding 150,000, including martyrs, wounded, and injured.
It is wrong to portray the Palestinian issue as a conflict between Hamas and the Zionist entity, ignoring the fact that the issue has been ongoing for over 70 years.
The Palestinian people have been struggling for decades, with 87 UN and Security Council resolutions specifically addressing the Palestinian issue.
All the resolutions from the Oslo, Madrid, and Sharm El-Sheikh conferences have been ignored, and without a fundamental solution to the Palestinian issue, the problem will persist.
We desire close cooperation with the United States and to open new horizons in the relationship in all fields, especially in the economic sector.
Our relations with the United States are institutional, governed by the Strategic Framework Agreement.
We have succeeded in keeping our country away from the conflict zone and continue to perform our duties and tasks.
We need more dialogue as a means to resolve issues and contribute to regional stability.
For over a year, we have observed a state of confusion in the region, including the Red Sea, Lebanon, and Syria, and mutual strikes, all of which have put the Middle East in a state of anxiety about the outbreak of a full-scale war.
If we adhere to the basic principles of achieving security and stability in the region and address the root cause, which is the Palestinian issue, we can resolve problems and live in peace and stability.
