Pentagon: We have no plans to leave Iraq

According to CNN, during a press conference, in response to the question that the Iraqi Prime Minister's Office announced last week that it is starting the process of planning the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, Ryder said: This country has no plans to withdraw its soldiers from Iraq. The spokesman for the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said that we are still focused on the mission of defeating ISIS in Iraq to ensure that they do not resume their activities in this country. We advise and assist Iraqis on security issues. According Karim Alivi, a member of the Fatah coalition in the Iraqi parliament, said on Sunday that all options for expelling US soldiers from Iraq are on the table. He added: These options include political and peaceful action or the use of force until the last American soldier is expelled from Iraq. Referring to the recent US military drone strike on an Al-Hashd al-Shaabi headquarters linked to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense in Baghdad and the martyrdom of 2 people by Al-Hashd al-Shaabi, including Deputy Commander Hazam Baghdad ", Alivi declared: The Iraqi government has the authority to expel American soldiers from the country; Especially since these forces have committed criminal acts inside Baghdad and must face the consequences and be expelled. Alivi said: American forces do not have permission to stay in Iraq and a unified position must be maintained to expel them and prevent them from re-entering Iraqi territory.

John Kirby, the White House National Security Council's strategic communications coordinator, said: The United States is not currently in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza. In an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera channel, Kirby announced the reason for his country's opposition to the establishment of a ceasefire in Gaza and said: We are against this ceasefire because it benefits Hamas. He continued: We continue to consider the possibility of a temporary ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Kirby once again supported the barbarism of the Zionist regime. At a time when this regime has killed more than a hundred journalists and wounded many others, he declared: We see no sign that Israel is deliberately targeting journalists in its operations. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority's media office on Sunday announced the death of two Palestinian journalists, Hamza Wael al-Dahdouh, son of Al-Jazeera journalist Wael al-Dahdouh, and Mustafa Soraya in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army attacked the car of these 2 journalists who were traveling to do their work. With the martyrdom of these 2 people, the number of journalist martyrs since the beginning of the genocide in the Gaza Strip has reached 112 people. In response to this action by the Zionists, the Palestinian Journalists Union said in a statement: The attack on journalists is an official decision of the Israeli cabinet and is a direct order of Netanyahu.
