Vow to Liberate Golan Reason for US Enmity with Iraqi Movement
According to al-Nujaba office in Iran, Hadi al-Ameri, Secretary General of Iraq’s Badr Organization, referred to a plan by the US Congress to boycott al-Nujaba Movement and said the movement has vowed to liberate the Golan Heights from Zionist occupation and that is why the enemy is angry.
He added that one should not be sad for this because nothing else can be expected from an enemy.
The Zionist regime of Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War and has continued to occupy two-thirds of the strategically-important territory ever since, in a move that has never been recognized by the international community.
The regime has built tens of illegal settlements in the area since its occupation and has used the region to carry out a number of military operations against the Syrian government.
Al-Nujaba, which has about 10,000 fighters, is a branch of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Sha’abi).
Iraq’s volunteer force was formed in 2014, when the Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terror group managed to make sweeping territorial gains in Iraq’s western and northern parts, helping the government forces regain their strength and speed up their counter-offensives.
