What makes Iraq stand out among its Arab neighbours?
At the end of the Arab League summit in Saudi Arabia this week, the 22-member organisation issued a statement that called for taking action against Iran, accusing it of using armed proxies in the region. However, one member, Iraq, disagreed with the others.
The emergency Arab League meeting in Mecca came after developments which have raised the possibility of a direct confrontation between Iran and its foes, including the United States. When Daesh spread across Iraq and took control of a vast chunk of the country in 2014, it was the Iranians who sent militias to counter the group.
It is the result of a compromise between different political parties, which have risen above allegations of corruption and incompetence. It also reflects the political maturity of Iraqi leaders as the two main blocs in the parliament now represent cross-sectarian and cross-ethnic interests.
