Alwaght- Iraqi MP Hanan al-Fatlawi has asked the country’s Foreign Ministry to summon and warn the Saudi ambassador to Baghdad Tamer al-Sabhan over his undiplomatic behavior.
Al-Fatlawi demanded that the government to expels the Saudi diplomat if he does not abstain from violating the diplomatic norms.
The Iraqi Member of Parliament noted that al-Sabhan’s statements stir the seditions across the country whose entire segments and factions are confronting ISIS terrorist group.
Al-Sabhan earlier had tweeted that the Fallujah campaign aims at changing its demographic situation, claiming that "the existence of terrorist Iranian figures near the city indicates that they want to inflame the sectarian fire to burn the Arab Iraqis."
On Friday, a top commander serving at the Iraqi volunteer forces warned of Saudi attempts to bring a large-scale operation for retaking the city of Fallujah to a halt in order to allow the ISIS terrorists to flee the city, now fully besieged by the Iraqi forces.
Abu Hashem Fanian al-Welayi, commander of Sayyid al-Shohada Battalions, a main wing of the Popular Mobilization Units or Hashid al-Shaabi, said reports suggest that Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Iraq is trying to buy time for saving members of the ISIS terrorist group that are stuck in the beleaguered city of Fallujah.
The Saudi envoy seems to have asked the Baghdad government for a 36-hour ceasefire in order to open exit routes for the ISIS terrorists and let them flee Fallujah, he added, noting that a lot of foreign nationals from the Arab states are in the city.
In January, Iraq's foreign ministry summoned Saudi Arabia's ambassador in Baghdad over meddling in Iraq's domestic affairs.
Sources say that several members Ambassador Sabhan’s family are terrorists who were killed in Iraq and in Syria. His family has provided ISIS and al-Qaeda with several terrorists who either died or still fighting.
Moreover, Sabhan comes from a military background and he is not a diplomat per se. He comes from military/intelligence background and he was chosen basically to enhance Saudi undermining of the Iraqi state.
