AhlulBayt News Agency: Speaking to the media, Al-Araji emphasized Baghdad’s sovereign stance on the issue, rejecting external interference in decisions related to the PMF (Hashd Al-Shaabi), a powerful paramilitary coalition integral to Iraq’s security landscape.
He further addressed recent requests to postpone legislation concerning the Hashd Al-Shaabi until after the upcoming parliamentary elections. When asked about the reasons behind this delay, Al-Araji declined to elaborate but hinted that the law might require additional consultations—both domestic and international—before a final vote.
The Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd Al-Shaabi), composed mainly of Shia militias, have played a significant role in Iraq’s fight against ISIS, but their future remains a contentious topic in Iraqi politics and international relations.
Al-Araji’s comments underscore Iraq’s determination to maintain control over its internal security matters amid ongoing debates about the role and status of the PMF.
