The Iraqi Parliament gave a vote of confidence to eight ministers and three deputy prime ministers in Ali Falah al-Zaidi's cabinet; However, political differences continue to prevent the nomination of the proposed Ministers of Construction, Housing and Immigration.

Ambassador Arjan-Political Group: The Iraqi parliament approved the appointment of three deputy prime ministers and eight cabinet ministers, Ali Falah al-Zaidi. However, political differences prevented the approval of two proposed ministers for the ministries of civil engineering and housing and immigration.

Leith Al-Khazali, Mohsen Al-Mandlawi and Mohammad Tamim received a vote of confidence as the deputies of Ali Falah Al-Zaidi.

In the parliament meeting on Thursday night, Nayef al-Shammari was confirmed for the Ministry of Defense, Yasir Al-Maliki for the Ministry of Interior, Yasin Al-Eithawi for the Ministry of Culture, Qutiba Ghazi for the Ministry of Planning and Safa Al-Kanani for the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Also, the representatives gave their vote of confidence to Ali Al-Dakhili for the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Haider Baha for the Ministry of Higher Education and Mohammad Al-Mousavi for the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.

The representatives agreed to create two ministries of economy, digitization and governance and minority affairs. The separation of the Ministry of Culture from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities was also approved.

Voting about the ministries of construction, housing and immigration did not come to a conclusion due to the difference between the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Christian representatives. Following this situation, the government of Ali Falah Al Zaidi needs a political agreement to determine the duties of these two ministries in the coming days.

On Thursday, the Iraqi House of Representatives will vote on the candidates for the vacant ministries of Ali Al-Zaidi's cabinet; A measure to complete the government, which is carried out after more than five months have passed since the vote of confidence in the cabinet.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia announced that Moscow's decision to grant political asylum to Bashar al-Assad is final and irreversible, and the current authorities in Damascus are also aware of this issue.

Informed sources reported the confidential request of Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falah al-Zaidi from a Yemeni before his trip to Riyadh; A trip that is probably carried out with the aim of conveying a message about the crisis in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
