The Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq emphasized today, Thursday, the importance of adhering to constitutional timelines for appointing the President and Prime Minister, while warning against any foreign intervention. This follows the postponement of a parliamentary session to elect the President at the request of the two main Kurdish parties, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s rejection of the nomination of State of Law coalition leader Nouri al-Maliki for the second post.
