I doubt that the US will let this situation continue for much longer. I expect that there will be a loss of oil coming out from Syria (after all the new bloke in charge is on the US's wanted list) and will want to make up for it from somewhere else ...

The more they delay the closer September comes.

Still no mention of the budget amendment.

They've postponed the General Amnesty Law, Election Law and Property Restitution Law until the next legislative session but no mention of the budget law. The current session ends tomorrow so there's still time, in theory.

But Maliki's the problem, he's trying to undermine Sudani and his plans and couldn't care less about the impact on Iraq.

Iraqi parliament postpones today’s session amid Coordination Framework boycott

Shafaq News/ On Sunday, the Iraqi parliament postponed its session due to a lack of the legal quorum required for proceedings, according to a brief statement from the parliamentary media office.
A source informed Shafaq News that the Coordination Framework leadership had directed its members to boycott the session, aiming to block a vote on the contentious General Amnesty Law.
Meanwhile, controversy continues to surround divisive laws such as the General Amnesty Law. The State of Law Coalition (SLC) has ruled out discussions on such legislation during Sunday’s session.
Earlier, a member of the SLC, Firas Al-Muslmawi, told Shafaq News that the absence of political consensus is likely to push these deliberations to the next legislative term.

Vested interests really don't want to do this.They can only delay, never stop, so we just wait.

[pittcock] 08/12/2024 14:15

Session boycotted apparently

[pittcock] 08/12/2024 13:48

lol I think we can guess.You'd think that a neighbouring states regime collapsing maybe, just maybe, might require the Iraqi parliament to postpone its holidays for a few day?

[confused _gerbill] 08/12/2024 13:19

Maddeningly it doesn't say which laws?

The State of Law Coalition ruled out that the Iraqi Parliament would discuss, in its session today, Sunday, the "controversial" laws, most notably the "general amnesty."

The representative of the coalition bloc, Firas Al-Maslamawi, told Shafak News Agency that "the laws included on the agenda are controversial, especially the general amnesty law, which includes legal articles that are subject to reservations and rejection by some political blocs."

He added that "the absence of political consensus will lead to these laws being postponed to the next legislative session."

Al-Maslamawi pointed out that "today's session may leave the scheduled agenda and turn to discussing the latest developments in Syria and their effects on the Iraqi situation, as the parliament may issue an official position on this issue."

He stressed that the sudden events taking place in Syria require a discussion within the House of Representatives to examine their potential repercussions on Iraq, especially since the two countries are linked by common security and political dimensions.

For his part, a parliamentary source told Shafaq News Agency that the Speaker of Parliament, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, and the heads of the political blocs held a meeting in the office of the State Forces Alliance regarding holding today's session, approving the laws, and discussing the events in Syria and their repercussions on Iraq.

This morning, Sunday, December 8, 2024, the Syrian opposition factions entered the capital, Damascus, and broadcast Statement No. (1) on state television, thus announcing the end of the “dark era” of the Assad regime and the beginning of a new era for Syria.

In the first official communication between Iraq and the Syrian opposition, Iraqi security forces on the Syrian border issued severe warnings to armed opposition elements, asking them not to approach the border strip.

The Iraqi forces confirmed that the area near the border is considered a "killing zone" for anyone who enters it

Gazette here

The above tweet from Jon Dowling is dated yesterday and contains a video clarifying that that they did not mean to imply the law has been approved but is ready to go to the Gazette "ONCE APPROVED",

So we wait.

EDIT - I've just watched it again and it's still confusing, it says (yesterday) that the law has already been passed but has not yet been sent to the Gazette for publication but that it will be today or tomorrow or whenever.

Let's see.

[beernut1] 08/12/2024 10:45

Nice. We do seem to be inching closer. Wonder if it’s all being held up for a reason.
Think Bah baa black sheep always said we could hold the jewel of the third biggest oil field in the world. ( ours and joint fields).

Be nice to see that second reading done today it’s dragged by 2 sessions without it happening.

Thanks RED - "Iraq’s HCL Oil & Gas law ITS READY TO GO TO THE GAZETTE..."

Legislation only goes into the Gazette once it's been approved by Parliament.

The statement "it's ready to go" would seem to imply that it's been approved.

"The Official Gazette of Iraq has been the official source for the laws and resolutions passed by the Council of Representatives of Iraq since August 1922. Article 125 of the Constitution mandates that laws shall be published in the gazette and shall take effect on the date of their publication, unless stipulated otherwise. It is published by the Ministry of Justice."

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya expressed great appreciation for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani's cabinet's steps toward stabilizing domestic political conditions and improving the efficiency of government institutions at both provincial and local levels.
He cited the successful parliamentary elections held on Oct. 20, 2024, in the “Kurdistan Region and the election of the new Speaker of Parliament as evidence of this progress.”
The Russian representative stated that they hope all Iraqi political forces will work to resolve differences through dialogue, taking into account the interests of all components and residents.
Nebenzya reaffirmed his country's support for Erbil and Baghdad, saying, "Our support remains constant and unwavering for advancing dialogue between Erbil and Baghdad on all remaining disputed and unresolved issues."
Russia's UN Representative also noted, "We want to point out the positive trend in strengthening security and counter-terrorism efforts. We are confident that Iraq's security institutions can resolve these issues."
Nebenzya further emphasized that the implementation of agreements regarding the phased withdrawal of the International Coalition against ISIS led by the US from Iraq should be carried out on schedule.
He added that delays in this process and the presence of foreign forces on Iraqi soil “is not only a destabilizing factor for Iraq but also has an increasingly negative impact on the regional situation.”
He stated, "We observe the UN's various efforts in Iraq, including the activities of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). Over the past 20 years, it has dedicated its full capacity to restoring and strengthening the Iraqi state, including through normalizing social and political life and organizing electoral processes. Now, Iraqis are ready to take responsibility for their country's political future."
These statements were made by Vasily Nebenzya during his country's address at the United Nations meeting on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.
