Iraq Addresses Identical Letters to Security Council, Secretary General of United Nations, Arab League and Organization of Islamic Cooperation On Israeli Entity Threats

The Foreign Ministry addressed official letters to the Security Council, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in response to the threats of the Israeli entity to attack Iraq.

The Ministry stressed in its letters that Iraq is a pillar for stability in its regional and international surroundings, and is among the countries most committed to the principles of the United Nations Charter. The Iraqi letters indicated that the Israeli entity letter to the Security Council is part of a systematic policy to create allegations and pretexts to expand the scope of conflict in the region.

The Ministry underlined that Iraq’s resort to the Security Council comes from its keenness to have the Council perform its role in maintaining international peace and security and the need to take the necessary measures to stop the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and to oblige the Israeli entity to stop the ongoing violence in the region and stop issuing threats.

The Ministry further indicated that Iraq was keen to exercise restraint regarding the use of its airspace to target a neighboring country, affirming the importance of the international community’s intervention to stop these aggressive behaviors, which constitute a blatant violation of the principles of international law.

The letters also emphasized that Iraq calls for concerted international efforts to stop the Israeli escalation in the region and ensure respect for international laws and conventions which contributes to enhancing the security and stability in the region.

As well as Iraq requested to circulate this letter to member states and deposited as an official document with the relevant organizations.
