Baghdad invited the new Syrian President to a summit, spewing political partition in Iraq

Baghdad: An official invitation for new Syrian President Ahmed Al-Shra to attend the upcoming Arab League Summit Baghdad Tiger has been triggered by sharp political division within Iraq.
Al-Shara took power after leading an electric rebel aggressively, which harasses his predecessor, Bashar AsadIn December. Since then, he has deployed himself as a politician, which aims to unite and rebuild his country after a civil war of about 14 years, but has left many by his past as a Sunni Islamist terrorist – including Shia groups in Iraq – careful.
Earlier, Nom Dey was known by Abu Mohammad al-Golani, al-Shara, after the US-led attack in Iraq, joined the rank of al-Qaeda rebels in Iraq and still faced a warrant for his arrest in allegations of terrorism in Iraq.
Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani confirmed last week that Iraq had given a formal invitation to Al-Shara to attend the 17 summit after a pre-undisclosed meeting between the two in Qatar. Al-Shara has not confirmed the schemes to participate.
Iraq, who has strong relations with both the United States and Iran, has demanded itself to create a position as a regional intermediary. It hosted a conversation between regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia before they reached a deal to normalize the relationship.
Many Iraqi and regional stakeholders invited Al-Shara as an opportunity to enhance the image of Baghdad as a hub for regional diplomacy.
However, a strong opposition to Al-Shara’s invitation has emerged from the powerful Shia groups aligned with Iran. Tehran, who supported Assad in the Civil War of Syria and used Syria to smuggle weapons to the Hizbullah terrorist group in Lebanon, was widely seen as Asad’s largest defeat.
Many Iraqi Shia Militia fought with Asad’s forces during the Civil War, after his cruel action on pro-democracy protests in 2011, Al-Shara became a specially sensitive person for him.
Mustafa Sand, a coalition of a member of Parliament from the coordination structure, a alliance of Iran-confidant groups that brought Al-Sudani to power in 2022-said in a video posted on X, on Twitter, on Twitter, on Twitter, the Ministry of External Affairs reached the Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq to verify whether an arrest warrant was issued against Al-Shara.
A security officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, confirmed the existence of the warrant for the Associated Press.
The Islamic claim party led by former Prime Minister Noori al -Maliki, one of the most influential figures in the ruling coalition of Iraq – – to a statement from the government, “to ensure that the participant of any summit has a clean judicial record,” to add, “to add,” added, “, not the blood of Iraqi,” Baghdad. “
A spokesman of the powerful militia Katib Hizbullah, Abu Ali al-Akari said in a statement, “The Arab Summit is held without President Asad, Iraq or Libya. They will definitely stop because criminal Abu Mohammad Al-Golani … is not participating.”
On the other end, Sunni political faction There is a rally to defend the inclusion of al-show at the summit. Former MP Dhafir Al-Anni, a prominent Sunni man, said he supports Baghdad’s efforts to have a relationship with new Syrian officials.
“Stopping his appearance will be a stab in the heart Iraqi government And there is an indication that violence still determines the fate of the country, “he said.
The Iraqi government has not publicly responded to backlash.
A warrant will not necessarily prevent Al-Shra from attending the summit. Other countries have chosen to forgive similar measures. In December after Assad’s decline, the United States stated that it had decided not to reward the earlier offer for the possession of Al-Shra, although Washington has not yet officially recognized the new Syrian government.
However, observers stated that the dispute highlights deep partitions within the Iraq’s political system and underlines challenges facing national harmony efforts.
Munaf al-Musavi, the leading political analyst at the Baghdad Center for Strategic Studies, said, “Some people welcome Al-Shara as an insult to the memory of Iraq’s victims, while Sunni factions see their participation as a political victory.” “It can promote communal stress.”
