A member of the 'Islamic Resistance Movement Nujaba' stated that these groups have reached an accord with the Iraqi government to halt operations against Israel and refrain from intervening in Syrian affairs. This development follows a series of strikes by these militias since the onset of the Gaza conflict in October 2023.
