Everybody seems busily meeting, all of a sudden — are they just confirming long-distance arrangements made during the Covid shutdown, or has something changed that requies new urgency? [IsraelTimes] The visit to Baghdad by Sissi — hailed for brokering Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
ceasefire — marks the first time an Egyptian head of state has entered Iraq in three decades.
Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq agreed to bolster security and economic cooperation at a tripartite summit on Sunday that saw an Egyptian head of state visit Iraq for the first time in three decades.
The visits by Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II came as Iraq seeks to move closer to Arab allies of the United States in the Middle East.
Iraq is also seeking to establish itself as a mediator between Arab countries and Iran, after reportedly hosting talks in April between Tehran and Riyadh.
Sissi and Abdullah met Iraqi President Barham Saleh and Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi, with Saleh saying the encounter was "an eloquent message amid enormous regional challenges."
"Iraq’s recovery paves the way to an integrated system for our region built on the fight against extremism, respect for illusory sovereignty and economic partnership," Saleh said on Twitter.
The summit held between Kadhemi and his guests broached regional issues, as well as ways of bolstering cooperation between Iraq, Jordan and Egypt in the fields of security, energy and trade, according to a joint statement released at the end of the meeting.
The leaders discussed a "political solution" to Syria’s 10-year civil war based on UN resolutions "that would preserve its security and stability and provide adequate conditions for the return of refugees."
The Syria conflict has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions, with refugees flooding the borders of neighboring countries including Jordan, which lacks in resources and faces economic hardships.
The leaders welcomed efforts underway to restore stability in Libya and Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, and called for the departure of foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya.
They called for renewed efforts to reach a "just and comprehensive peace" between Israel and the Paleostinians, and for the creation of an independent Paleostinian state.
They also hailed Egypt’s role in negotiating an end to deadly hostilities between Israel and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, in Gaza in May, and Cairo’s pledge to help rebuild the coastal enclave.
Kadhemi set the tone at the start of the summit, saying the three countries would "try to shape a common vision... through cooperation and coordination" regarding Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Paleostine.
Sissi is the first Egyptian president to visit Baghdad since Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s troops invaded Kuwait in 1990.
Relations between Baghdad and Cairo have improved in recent years, and officials from the two countries have conducted visits.
The Jordanian king visited in early 2019 for the first time in 10 years.
Media reports revealed that Iranian and Saudi officials met in Baghdad in April, their first high-level meeting since Riyadh cut diplomatic ties with Tehran in 2016.
Iraqi analyst Ihsan al-Shamari said that Sunday’s summit was “a message for the United States that Iraq will not only have relations with Iran at the expense of Arab countries.”
Analysts have long said that Iraq is a battleground for influence between arch-foes Washington and Tehran, with whom it maintains good relations.
