Iraq offers assistance to UNRWA
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, reaffirmed on Sunday Iraq's willingness to provide all forms of assistance to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Al-Sudani's remarks took place during his meeting with the UNRWA's Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
The meeting addressed the UNRWA's attempts to carry out its mandate and provide essential services despite the hurdles and direct threats it encounters from the Israeli troops.
The two sides emphasized the significance of putting an end to Israel's ongoing aggression, speeding up the entry of humanitarian supplies to the people in the Gaza Strip, and opening the border crossings.
Iraq's support for UNRWA is shown in the measures it took at the Arab Summit and the Arab Economic and Social Development Summit, held recently in Baghdad, including its proposal to establish a fund for Gaza reconstruction.

Factories at risk: Water scarcity hurting strategic industries
Shafaq News/ Worsening water shortages in Iraq are disrupting key manufacturing sectors, Industry Minister Khaled Battal al-Najm warned, urging reforms to protect domestic production. Speaking at a National Industry Day event on Wednesday in Baghdad, al-Najm called for stronger protections at border crossings to ensure fair competition, citing lax enforcement by customs and trade authorities. He reaffirmed the government's focus on strategic industries including steel, sulfur, phosphate, pharmaceuticals, and electrical manufacturing. However, 'the private sector must lead this transformation' given limited public funding. Energy shortages remain the sector's biggest hurdle, according to al-Najm. 'No factory can operate profitably without reliable electricity and gas,' he stated, pointing to the lack of industrial financing from Iraqi banks. Iraq's deepening water crisis has further strained supply chains. Reduced river flows, worsened by upstream dams in Turkiye and Iran, along with poor domestic management have limited access to essential raw materials, including sugar, oils, and textiles. Looking ahead, al-Najm said fair market conditions could unlock private sector potential. 'With the right environment, this sector can play a pivotal role in national growth.'

KRG on salary crisis: International support needed
Shafaq News/ The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Wednesday strongly criticized the Iraqi Ministry of Finance's decision to halt funding for public sector salaries, calling it 'unconstitutional, unlawful, and a form of collective punishment.' During its weekly session, chaired by Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, the Council of Ministers affirmed that the Region had fulfilled all its obligations and submitted the required financial data transparently to the joint audit committee of both federal and regional oversight bodies. Prime Minister Barzani pointed to the 2025 agreement between the federal and regional finance ministries, which ensures the disbursement of full monthly salaries throughout the year. He also referenced a Federal Supreme Court ruling that disputes over the federal budget law must not be used to justify suspending salary payments, emphasizing the constitutional principle of equal treatment for all Iraqi citizens. The Council described the recent federal decision as politically driven and warned against any suspension of salary payments in the coming months, stating that such measures unfairly target the population of the Kurdistan Region. The KRG resolved to formally brief the international community and diplomatic representatives on the legal, constitutional, and financial aspects of the issue, urging support for a resolution within the framework of Iraq's constitution.

Iraq sets 2027 deadline to end gas flaring
Shafaq News/ Iraq will end all associated gas flaring by 2027 as part of efforts to cut emissions and overhaul environmental infrastructure, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced on Wednesday. Speaking at a national youth conference marking World Environment Day, al-Sudani said contracts had been signed with international firms to capture flared gas from oilfields. Iraq ranks among the world's top five flaring nations, releasing millions of cubic meters of gas annually due to limited processing infrastructure. To mitigate industrial pollution, the government is converting brick kilns and other outdated factories into environmentally compliant facilities, with a 100-megawatt waste-to-energy plant also under construction in al-Nahrawan, according to the prime minister. On water management, al-Sudani announced new agreements with Turkiye to implement advanced irrigation systems. He noted that 90% of Iraq's environmental budget has been allocated to wastewater treatment. Those deals come amid severe water shortages, worsened by upstream dams in Turkiye and Iran, and aim to ease long-standing regional disputes over water rights. Al-Sudani added that emissions monitoring is receiving increased scientific support to guide environmental policy. 'We are integrating environmental priorities into national development planning.'
