Iraq Calls for Including Support for Palestine, Yemen, and Syria in Arab Parliamentary Union Statement
Baghdad - INA Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani called on Saturday for discussion and inclusion in the final statement of the Arab Parliamentary Union conference a full paragraph urging support for Palestine, assistance for Yemen, support for Syria, and support for other countries and efforts to address their problems and crises in a manner that achieves the necessary Arab unity. The media office of the Speaker of Parliament said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani delivered the speech of the Republic of Iraq on the proceedings of the 38th Conference of the Arab Parliamentary Union held in Algeria." First, I can only express my deep happiness and gratitude for being among you, under the umbrella of the Arab Parliamentary Union, as it holds its 38th conference. Perhaps this happiness is doubled because I am in the midst of my second country, the land that pulsates with heroism and an honorable history, the proud land of Algeria. Distinguished Guests Our conference is being held today at a critical and delicate moment in the nation's history, a fateful moment unlike any before it. The organizers have taken note of the critical and acute changes, making them their title and slogan, and rightly so. Beloved Palestine is groaning with wounds and destruction, proud Gaza is bleeding martyrs, displaced, and starved, Yemen has long since departed from its happiness, Lebanon is riddled with wounds, and sisterly Syria is shaking off the dust of tyranny and destruction, awaiting the aid of its brothers so that it can once again return to them, active and influential... indeed, it will inevitably return. Today, we are following with deep concern these Arab developments, as well as the regional transformations, which call for a unified Arab stance, a positive vision, and outcomes that express the true meaning of the nation, which carries the meaning of unity and goodness as long as it adheres to the causes of progress and takes pride in its identity. Since the beginning of the Zionist aggression against Gaza and Palestine, Iraq has been aware of the seriousness of what is happening and what is being planned, and has warned of the consequences of this conflict, which today—given its magnitude and intensity—requires exceptional Arab action to halt the machine of war and destruction, rebuild the land, and restore the rights of its owners. Just as it firmly believed that we are in one boat, our sorrow and joy, our future and destiny are one, and we are one body. If a person in Gaza complains, the people of Damascus, Sana'a, Algeria, and all Arab countries will rush to their aid and assistance. In order for our meeting to have a greater impact on the scene and to produce practical measures awaited by all members of our nation, I invite you to discuss and include in the final statement a full paragraph supporting Palestine, Yemen, Syria, and other countries, and supporting and working to address their problems and crises in a manner that achieves the necessary Arab unity. Thank you for listening. We wish the conference every success. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
