CF warns against sectarian rhetoric

Shafaq News – Baghdad

Iraq’s Coordination Framework (CF), a coalition of ruling Shiite political factions, cautioned on Monday that growing sectarian rhetoric in politics and media threatens national unity and social stability.

In a statement following a leadership meeting at former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office, the bloc called on political, religious, and media figures to act responsibly to safeguard Iraq’s fragile social fabric.

Reviewing the outcomes of the recent Arab-Islamic emergency summit in Doha, the CF pressed the Iraqi government to implement its resolutions regionally and internationally while pushing for increased political and humanitarian support for Palestine and a firm response to ongoing Israeli violations.
