The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, announced that his country had requested the US-led international coalition against ISIS to end its 10-year-long mission in Iraq, emphasizing the effectiveness and capabilities of the Iraqi security services.

Al-Sudani made these remarks during a dialogue seminar held on Thursday evening, coinciding with his official visit to the Netherlands. The seminar was attended by a group of businessmen and representatives from 40 Dutch companies.

He also emphasized the importance of European countries playing their role in protecting the Palestinian people from the ongoing genocide being committed against them on their land.

On Wednesday, the Acting Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mohsen al-Mandalawi, received Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and his delegation, alongside several Iraqi officials.

In the meeting, al-Mandalawi declared that "the upcoming weeks will witness the legislation of laws that would end US presence in Iraq", adding that the country is strong and does not need the protection of foreign forces.

It's worth noting that al-Sudani's stance on the necessity of ending the coalition's mission is not new.

Earlier this month, al-Sudani said that the military coalition led by the United States, created under the pretense of combating the ISIS terrorist group, will gradually reduce its presence in Iraq.

According to the PM, "The main purpose of winding down the US-led military coalition’s mission is to eliminate all possible pretexts for attacks on its advisors."

In a related context, in an interview with Reuters in January, al-Sudani called for an agreement on a specific timeframe for the withdrawal of the US-led international coalition in Iraq which "honestly" needs to be "quick".

He stressed, "Let's agree on a timeframe that is, honestly, quick, so that they don't remain long and the attacks keep happening."
