At the Sulaymaniyah International Forum, National Wisdom Movement leader Ammar Al-Hakim emphasized the need to consolidate weapons solely in the hands of the Iraqi state. The longer the process is delayed, the weaker the authority of the central state becomes, leading to an increase in the influence of armed factions. There is also a risk of military strikes from Israel. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani has sought cooperation with other Iraqi leaders to urge armed groups to cease their operations and prevent potential Israeli strikes. Efforts are being made to integrate factions into the umbrella group and restrict political and military decision-making to the state.
