Former Iraqi MP Mithal Al-Alusi Supports Aid from Israel
(MEMRI) Former Iraqi MP Mithal Al-Alusi said in an April 21, 2019, interview on Asia TV (Iraq) that he has no problem visiting Israel and putting "an end to the great Arab and Islamist lie" surrounding Jerusalem, which he said he does not view as an Arab capital. He said that he is more concerned with helping Iraqis and with Iraq's food security, which he said would improve if he traveled to Israel and built a "bridge between the half-a-million Iraqi Jews and Iraq." Al-Alusi also asserted that Israel is a legitimate state.
