Baghdad-INA 

The Presidency of the Republic affirmed, today, Saturday, its rejection of attempts to normalize with Israel, while it renewed its position in support of the Palestinian cause.

A statement by the spokesman for the Presidency of the Republic, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “At a time when the Presidency of the Republic affirms Iraq’s firm position and supportive of the Palestinian cause and the implementation of the full legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, it renews Iraq’s categorical rejection of the issue of normalization with Israel, and calls for respect for The will of the Iraqis and their independent national decision. 

The statement added that "the last meeting that was held to promote this concept does not represent the people and residents of Iraqi cities, but only the positions of those who participated in it, in addition to being an attempt to inflame the general situation and target civil peace.".

The statement continued, "The Presidency of the Republic calls for a move away from promoting nationally and legally rejected concepts that affect the feelings of Iraqis, at a time when we must prepare for fair and transparent elections that support the national path in Iraq and restore a free and dignified life for all Iraqis."
