Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani has issued a strong warning about expanding the Gaza conflict beyond Palestinian borders. He expressed concern during a high-level meeting in Baghdad on Saturday with Mohamed Al Hassan, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq.
Al-Sudani warned that the war in Gaza could soon reach other Arab and Islamic countries. He stressed that such a development would pose a direct threat to both regional and international stability. His office released the statement following discussions on current developments in the Middle East.
Importantly, the Prime Minister referenced the recent tension surrounding Qatar. He described it as a dangerous signal of how quickly the conflict might spread. This example, he said, reflects growing efforts aimed at expanding the Gaza conflict into neighboring states.
During the meeting, the two sides also discussed humanitarian aid restrictions. Al-Sudani emphasized that preventing aid from reaching Gaza creates severe risks for regional security. He urged the global community to take immediate action to ensure civilian relief.
In addition, both parties reviewed Iraq’s ongoing cooperation with the United Nations. They spoke about economic programs, climate initiatives, and the future of UNAMI. As previously agreed, the UN’s mission in Iraq will conclude by the end of the year.
Moreover, Al-Sudani underlined the need for open dialogue. He called for stronger communication between nations to avoid further military escalation. He argued that political solutions must come before more conflict erupts across the region.
Al-Sudani stressed that international bodies must act quickly. He believes they hold a duty to stop war from expanding. He said global institutions must prevent additional crises before they begin.
In conclusion, the Iraqi Prime Minister remains focused on protecting regional peace. He urged cooperation and diplomacy as the best tools for halting expanding the Gaza conflict. He continues to push for solutions that defend stability across the Arab and Islamic world.
