Al-Khazali: criticizes global inaction on Gaza warns of regional Israeli agenda
Shafaq News/ The Secretary-General of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais Al-Khazali, condemned the international community for failing to take meaningful action as Gaza faces "slaughter from vein to vein." Speaking at the Eid al-Fitr sermon on Monday, al-Khazali praised the stance of resistance leaders and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Gaza, describing it as a reflection of "sincerity and devotion." 'Sayyed Nasrallah's moral stance on Gaza stems from the principles of Ahl al-Bayt [the family of the prophet Muhammad]." Al-Khazali criticized the Islamic world for merely watching without providing real support to the besieged Gaza Strip, arguing that the ideological motives behind the conflict extend beyond Palestine and Lebanon, 'they serve Zionist ambitions to dominate the region." Without naming the country, the Shiite leader pointed out that one Arab state is actively involved in implementing the Israeli project to partition Syria.' Since resuming operations 12 days ago in Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 900 Palestinians, bringing the total death toll to 50,280, with around 114,100 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Al-Khazali: Resistance strong, denies US influence in Iraq
Shafaq News/ The resistance in Gaza and Lebanon remains active despite targeted assassinations, Qais Al-Khazali, Secretary-General of the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, revealed on Tuesday. Speaking at the 'Resistant Martyr's Day' conference in Baghdad's Directorate of Media Hall, Al-Khazali dismissed claims that Israel had achieved victory. 'The enemy cannot declare success despite the temporary halt in Gaza,' he said, adding that the assassination of resistance leaders in Palestine and Lebanon does not mean the battle is over. Al-Khazali also rejected assertions that the United States dictates the country's leadership. 'Iraq's leadership is chosen through elections and the people's will,' the Secretary-General asserted, warning of a political figure seeking the premiership with US backing. He noted that Washington had only intervened once in selecting an Iraqi Prime Minister since 2003, calling that experience a 'failure.' On domestic security, Al-Khazali dismissed speculation about the dissolution of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and resistance factions, calling such reports 'false.' He stressed that the PMF and resistance groups are essential and cannot be eliminated.
