Baghdad / NINA / -Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, confirmed that the US Congress’ draft against the head of the judiciary is a dangerous precedent and a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty.

Al-Mandalawi described, in a statement, what was reported by American media regarding the submission by Republican Congressman (Mike Waltz) of a draft law amendment and its inclusion of a clause affecting the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, as a dangerous precedent to be added to the record of actions of the Biden government, which publicly supported the most horrific mass massacre committed by Zionist gangs against the people of Gaza, and today it threatens to undermine the sovereignty of states and their symbols without a legal justification that allows it to do so.

Al-Mandalawi called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to move through its diplomatic means and deliver a direct message that Iraq, with all its authorities, rejects such offensive interventions, which came from the American Congressman, describing them as tools of influence for other countries, stressing that Iraq is a sovereign country, and its relations with all countries are built on the basis of mutual respect, stressing that the draft law intended to be submitted to Congress by the Republican representative, and if approved, will constitute a dangerous turning point that will affect, in one way or another, the nature of bilateral relations between the two countries.

Al-Mandalawi affirmed the House of Representatives’ full support for the head of the judiciary, and its absolute rejection of any abuse of his authority and all authorities, indicating the keenness of the Presidency of the House to follow up on these illegal acts and take everything necessary to reject them./End
