Iraq will fulfill all of its duties toward the Palestinian people on numerous fronts, including aid and military assistance, Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) chairman Faleh Al-Fayyad said on Saturday as occupied Palestine suffers from a monstrous Israeli aggression.

"The plans to displace the people of Gaza are unrealistic and cannot be implemented," Al-Fayyad told Al Mayadeen. "It is impossible for Iraq to be a gateway to inflict harm on Palestinians; it will be a platform to support them."

"Operation Al-Aqsa Flood showed the Israeli occupation as shaken, and the United States is a key accomplice in the [Israeli] occupation's crimes," he said. "The Resistance's actions are all a reaction to the occupation's crimes."

The Iraqi Resistance chief underlined that his country would be the main pillar of support for the Palestinian Resistance, pledging to not allow the United States to support the occupation against the Palestinian people.

The Iraqi Parliament, al-Fayyad revealed, will hold an extraordinary session on Sunday in support of Gaza, and will collect donations to that end.

Regarding the results of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, al-Fayyad told Al Mayadeen that "the consequences of what happened in the Gaza Strip are significant, and their results will soon become apparent, especially in the issue of normalization."

Paramount support for Palestine

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani condemned in his meeting with the Iraqi Coordination Framework's forces "the ongoing Zionist aggression in the occupied territories and the direct targeting of civilians.

The Secretary-General of Iraq's resistance group Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, Qais Khazali, issued a press statement in which he said the group was "ready to assist Palestine on the ground if asked."

"We are prepared to provide financial and moral support through demonstrations and protests," he added.

Earlier in the week, Iraq's Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades warned Washington against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

According to Lebanese news outlet Al-Ahed, the group stressed that "Palestine is not Ukraine" and that any interference or support the US extends to the Israeli entity would make US bases in the region targets for the Resistance. 

The Group expressed that any support would be met with retaliation and zero red lines would remain uncrossed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Monday to "change the Middle East" in "Israel's" war on Gaza, as the occupation launches continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in over 2,228 Palestinian martyrs. Many Palestinians remain unaccounted for under the rubble of collapsed residential buildings due to Israeli brutal airstrikes, however it is reported that 8,744 individuals have been injured so far.

Iraq long been supportive of Resistance

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Deputy Secretary-General Abu Ahmad Fouad, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen, affirmed that "the Palestinian territories bear witness to what Iraq has contributed to the Palestinian cause," noting that "the cemetery of Iraqi martyrs in Jenin is testament to this."

"The Iraqi people have always supported Palestine and have been involved in the ranks of Palestinian Resistance, which included a large number of Iraqi fighters," confirming that "the Axis of Resistance has become a tangible reality today, not just empty words."

"The brothers in Yemen and Iraq are ready to stand with us whenever the need arises, by the tens of thousands," he added. "The quality of missiles and the management of the battle by the Resistance will change according to the evolution of the confrontation."

Fouad called for "Arab consensus in rejecting any attempt to isolate the Palestinians from Gaza."
